Abstract
Objective
One of the problem existent today in the medical domain is that we have an important number of legacy applications that cannot be reused, shared, composed. The objective of this paper is to propose a solution that make possible to overcome these limitations and makes possible the creation of new composite services that may be used in common by several institutions.
Methods
A generic model for a service, based on a loosely coupled, message-based communication model is proposed. The service model takes into account the possibility to integrate legacy applications. Specialized image processing services can be dynamically discovered and integrated into client applications or other services. A new model and software product based on Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) is proposed. SOA improves the reusability and maintainability of distributed systems. In service oriented architectures, the most important element is the service, a resource provided to remote clients via a service contract.
Results
A basic integration example is presented in the paper and the possibility to integrate dedicated scenario.
Conclusion
The aim of this paper is to present a services based architecture for medical image processing in assisted diagnosis. A service can be discovered at runtime, can be replaced if it is unavailable or can be incorporated in a new service.
