Title:
Distributed Java-Based-CORBA with Digital Imaging and Communications
in Medicine for Medical Informatics.
Abstract: Digital medical informatics and images are commonly
used in hospitals today,. Because of the interrelatedness of the radiology
department and other departments, especially the intensive care unit and
emergency department, the transmission and sharing of medical images has
become a critical issue. Our research group has developed a Java-based
distributed medical informatics framework to facilitate the rapid development
and deployment of medical imaging applications in a distributed environment
that can be shared and used by related departments and mobile physicians.
This paper describes how Java technologies can be utilised, like
the Java Media Framework (JMF), Java Swing, Java Foundation Class (JFC) ,
JDBC and other libraries such medical imaging application developers
interface (API),NeatMed with Common Object Request Broker Architecture (CORBA)
in order to develop a medical informatics systems model in distributed environments.
This model is utilized java as client application and server application.
Furthermore we integrate java with CORBA as middleware that sit in middle-tier
and IBM DB2 as relational database at the server side. The ability
the java based application to distribute information to geographically distant
users on a wide variety of computers. Make it an obvious candidate for a
technological solution for distributed medical informatics systems.
