Abstract

Telemedicine integrates information technology with telecommunication for providing support to health professionals in establishing a communication channel. Challenges in telemedicine include limited bandwidth, large amount of diagnostic data including images that need to be transmitted and the availability of an expert to advice for diagnosis and opinion. This paper proposes a novel method to enable telemedicine even if an expert is not available. The proposed method combines content based image retrieval to retrieve diagnostic cases similar to the query medical image and image compression techniques to minimize the bandwidth utilization.
