In this paper, the multi-channel high speed data acquisition system is implemented. This high speed signal processing system for 3-D image display is applicable to the manipulation of a medical image processing, multimedia data and various fields of digital image processing. In order to convert the analog signal into digital one, A/D conversion circuit is designed. PCI interface method is designed and implemented, which is capable of transmission a large amount of data to computer. In order to, especially, channel extendibility of images acquisition, bus communication method is selected. By using this bus method, we can interface each module effectively. In this paper, 32-channel A/D conversion and PCI interface system for 3-dimensional and real-time display of the retina image is developed. The 32-channel image acquisition system and high speed data transmission system developed in this paper is applicable to not only medical image processing as 3-D representation of retina image but also various fields of industrial image processing in which the multi-point realtime image acquisition system is needed.

The visual quality of medical image is an important factor for diagnosis accuracy. Therefore, the methods to improve the quality of medical image have studied. Among them, frequency domain filter is very powerful method to impove the visual quality of image. In this paper, the X-ray medical image using optimized high-pass filter was improved edges. The result image was improved edge and contrast of flat area using optimized high frequency emphasis filter. At last, the result image is to minimize the noise using the minimum mean square error(MMSE) filter. As a result, the proposed method has enhanced contrast and edge of the image in the contrast of existing filters, with the noise canceling effect.

With the rapid development of communication technology and widespread uses of internet service, utilization of internet-based medical information systems which transmitts moving pictures of medical objects is becoming a common practice. The internet-based medical information service prvovides richer information than conventional services such as touch-tone telephone, personal computers e-mails, or pagers, because "a picture is worth a thousand words". However, the systems passively transmits moving pictures of the medical objects to the users, and thus the system cannot intelligently adjust itself to provide better service. As the tradeoff exists between transmission speed and quality of the image, there is a need that moving pictures be analyzed to adjust the trnasmission speed and image quality. When very little difference between consecutive images are detected, the system can automatically increase the size of the image files, thus enhancing the quality of image. In contrast, the system should increase the number of images to send more pictorial information by sacrificing the quality of each individual image, when a significant difference is detected. In this paper an adaptive filtering technique is introduced which adjusts the quality of image and transmission speed according to a clinical situation in hospital.

The general medical information service in hospital recently has been turned into ubiquitous environment. A key requirement in ubiquitous environment is the ability for communication between image viewer realized by DICOM standard and a server supporting medical information to make it possible. In order to apply the proposed scheme, we first realized the server/client networking in mobile terminal environment. Second, we realized DICOM viewer using a PDA to be capable of wireless communication in ubiquitous environment. Third, MIPS(Medical Information Processing System) utilized RFID system to apply the patient's information efficiently. In particular, it showed the capability to communicate image based system unlike previous text based communication.

Stereo PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System) is not available yet because of some limitations of medical stereo image software and viewing devices. As a stereo PACS viewer, we designed two functions. One is selecting and viewing a multiplexed stereo image directly, and the other is selecting a stereo pair image (left and right sides both) and merging the stereo pair image into a multiplexed image in software. For the medical image compression of 3-D stereo endoscopic images, we used JPEG and Wavelet compression and to determine an acceptable compression rate using PSNR (Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio). As a result, we got the conclusion that medically acceptable image compression rate should have the PSNR of above about 40[dB] (JPEG (5:1), Wavelet (10:1)).

In this paper, we propose a encryption method using C-MLCA and 1D CAT to secure medical image for efficiently. First, we generate a state transition matrix using a Wolfram rule and create a sequence of maximum length. By operating the complemented vector, it converts an existing sequence to a more complex sequence. Then, we multiply the two sequences by rows and columns to generate C-MLCA basis images of the original image size and go through a XOR operation. Finally, we will get the encrypted image to operate the 1D CAT basis function created by setting the gateway values and the image which is calculated by transform coefficients. By comparing the encrypted image with the original image, we evaluate to analyze the histogram and PSNR. Also, by analyzing NPCR and key space, we confirmed that the proposed encryption method has a high level of stability and security.

Recently, due to problems in terms of illegal copying of medical image and the right ownership and authentication of data, it is necessary for us to study about those problems. In this study, we propose steganography with a method of the hiding information of high-resolution in digital medical image. The proposed algorithm is one of the way that inserts secret information by protecting ROI area which is regarded as and important feature of high-resolution digital medical image. As a result, the proposed method made it possible to insert secret information of massive storage and didn't affect the imperceptibility in medical image quality based on capacity and PSNR showed the all image quality of about 33.33dB.

Recently there comes out various applications on real time control, audio/video conference, medical image and so on. These applications request certain Quality of Service(QoS) to their underlying communication subsystem. In these cases those communication subsystems should provide real time communication service on their QoS request as well as good performance to maintain best effort traffic. In this paper firstly we briefly look over bandwidth, traffic parameters on point to point network secondly we analyze on real time channel and propose design factors in real time channel protocol for multimedia applications.

In recent years, medical image diagnosis has growing significant momentous in the medicinal field. Brain and lung image of patient are distorted with salt and pepper noise is caused by moving the head and chest during scanning process of patients. Reconstruction of these images is a most significant field of diagnostic evaluation and is produced clearly through techniques such as linear or non-linear filtering. However, restored images are produced with smaller amount of noise reduction in the presence of huge magnitude of salt and pepper noises. To eliminate the high density of salt and pepper noises from the reproduction of images, a new efficient fuzzy based median filtering algorithm with a moderate elapsed time is proposed in this paper. Reproduction image results show enhanced performance for the proposed algorithm over other available noise reduction filtering techniques in terms of peak signal -to -noise ratio (PSNR), mean square error (MSE), root mean square error (RMSE), mean absolute error (MAE), image enhancement factor (IMF) and structural similarity (SSIM) value when tested on different medical images like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computer tomography (CT) scan brain image and CT scan lung image. The introduced algorithm is switching filter that recognize the noise pixels and then corrects them by using median filter with fuzzy two-sided π- membership function for extracting the local information.
