The project was so successful that four members of the CRCG team received special recognition from Battelle. As requested by Battelle, this new version will run under Solaris x86 on a Pentium laptop. Multi-Resolution Data Display New features include the ability to select the resolution quality of transferred data sets. This feature addresses limitations of differing available bandwidths and the need for timely transmission of crucial data. Initially, the technician transmits only a low-resolution version of the data to a collaborating colleague in a remote location, thus saving time.
Markers provide cues to the orientation of the body with respect to the scanned data.
Thus, markers help disambiguate the origin of the displayed data. Annotation lets a physician draw or write textual comments directly on a patient's data scan, for example, to point out important features for later reference. Other key features new to this iteration are encryption and FDA approval. Encryption is of high priority to keep medical data and patient information confidential during transmission over insecure lines. The user interface will select and indicate whether encryption is or is not enabled.
