Abstract

One basic requirement of distributed medical consultation system for radiology imaging is that geographically dispersed, disparate participants, are allowed to exchange information readily with each other. Such software also needs to be supported on a broad range of computer platforms to increase the software's accessibility. In this thesis, the development of world-wide-web based medical consultation system is addressed to provide the platform independence and great accessibility. The system provides not only orthogonal section image but also sharings of 3-dimensional object reconstructed in de-facto standard VRML, formats, which can be viewed and manipulated in Web-browser with VRWL plug-in. In the transformation of canned volume data set to polygonal surfaces of VRML marching cube method is used. Decimation and generating the LOD(Level Of Detail) representation to reduce the number of meshed in the resulting VRML file. The choice of LOD is done by the user depending on her or his region of interest.
