Abstract

By the way of the mobile wireless network, portable devices have been widely used to obtain the online resources than before. Based on portable device, it can provide access points to get the necessary information and flexible functions faster. Mobile medical system is designed to make use of portable devices and the wireless network. In this paper, we present an integrated architecture to deliver medical services using portable devices. The image denoising based on Shearlet transformation is used in our system to improve the quality of medical images shown in portable devices. The denoised images are set as the input for further processing. And optimized Narrow Band Active Contour (NBAC) is proposed to obtain accurate annotation of the masses in the medical images. Our system’s basic platform, using iOS and Android portable devices for both doctors and nurses, has been deployed and evaluated in a real environment. The performance evaluation of this system is also performed, which shows improved image quality of medical images and better performance.
