TELEMEDICINE At present, the major constraint is in terms of the financial
viability of e-healthcare initiatives. However there have been several isolated initiatives from various organizations and hospitals for implementation of projects.
For example The Indian Space and Research Organization has today 32 telemedicine location in India and is investing heavily to help Indian healthcare to graduate in this technology and then use it for its own purpose in the future to monitor Indian astronauts who undertake journeys in space.
Most of the developments in this field are likely to focus around the needs of ISRO.

The answer to make projects financially viable also probably lies in pooling together resources by various facilities within a geographic locality and sharing the benefits and revenues thus created.
To elaborate on this point, several hospitals within a city like e.g. Salem can share a common Tele-pathology service or Teleradiology service.
The benefits of such a pooled service are obvious. Investigations can be viewed by a group of expert consultants.
Such a model will reduce the initial project costs and with the patient traffic from several affiliated hospitals can achieve economy of scale and thus reduce costs of trained manpower and material costs and also provide a very efficient and optimal service to the community. 3

India is well placed and potentially the ideal location for experimenting with e-healthcare solutions for the
following reasons: India has best computer Technocrats India has a very skilled medical
fraternity private healthcare emerging as a key-player in the country Indian Healthcare spending likely to increase to 200,000 crores by 2012 from present86,0000 crores. Potentially India a very suitable location and resources pumped in this sector now are likely to be of great benefit.
The government has the responsibility for the framing the basic standards guidelines to make use of IT in Healthcare possible. The ICT Ministry has come out with its recommendations by recommending some basic standards.

Telemedicine in principle is well suited for countries like India, Africa and South America where there is a large rural based population separated by large distances and needing access to regular medical care of quality.
The telephony revolution of nineties of India has linked most of our smaller towns and villages with rest of the world.
The railway also has a vast network of fibre-optics cables already laid out on many of its routes.

The Space scientist of our country have placed strategic satellites of communication making a broadband network not too difficult to achieve with expenditure of minimum resources, These gateways of communications should be all used to help with the project of telemedicine and hence reduce applications costs.
Even subsidies could be incorporated to facilitate telemedicine projects in our country.

Information Technology Revolution It is the question of bringing together these different
agencies and forums to make the revolution of telemedicine happen and to provide our humanity with the best possible medical care.
If these experiments work in India over the next decade, the vast population living in developing countries will be the winners and bear the fruit of our success.

Internet and Telemedicine should be a used as style of practice of modern medicine rather than be exhibited vulgarly as a technological showcase. Perhaps the slogan "Health for all by 2000" which was forgotten by our politicians towards the end of last century can still be achieved by the year 2020 by making "the Information Technology Revolution happen in healthcare in India ".

Imaging is the process of acquiring images. Shorthand for image acquisition. Process of sensing our surroundings and then
representing the measurements that are made in the form of an image.
![Page 16: Telemedicine (Information Technology) - Mathankumar.S - VMKVEC](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020307/55a67a201a28ab800f8b47ab/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Passive imaging – employs energy sources that are already present in the scene.
Active imaging – involves use of artificial energy sources to probe our surroundings.

Active imaging is not restrictive in this way but is invariably a more complicated & expensive procedure.
Active imaging predominates in medical field, where precise control over radiations sources is essential.
Active imaging is also an important tool in remote sensing.

Medical imaging is the technique and process used to create images of the human body or it’s parts for clinical purposes .
Non-invasive visualization of internal organs, tissue, etc.
![Page 30: Telemedicine (Information Technology) - Mathankumar.S - VMKVEC](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022020307/55a67a201a28ab800f8b47ab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Medical imaging has come a long way since 1895
when Röntgen first described a ‘new kind of ray’.
That X-rays could be used to display anatomical
features on a photographic plate was of immediate
interest to the medical community at the time.
Today a scan can refer to any one of a number of
medical-imaging techniques used for diagnosis and
treatment.

The transmission and detection of X-rays still lies at the heart of radiography, angiography, fluoroscopy and conventional mammography examinations.
However, traditional film-based scanners are gradually being replaced by digital systems
The end result is the data can be viewed, moved and stored without a single piece of film ever being exposed.

Mammography is a radiographic examination that is specially designed for detecting early breast cancer, yielding a significant improvement in breast cancer survival.
Mammography has been used in clinical practice since 1927 in the diagnosis of breast abnormalities.
In the late 1950s, the pioneering work of Gershon – Cohen and Egan demonstrated that even clinically occult cancers of early detection of breast cancer by screening asymptotic women. 57

Since the first mammography units (xeromammography and screen-film mammography in the 1970’s) became available, both the equipment and the examination procedure have changed and progressed.
A high degree of accuracy was developed with this technique to differentiate between Benign and Malignant disease.

Early Detection Is Your BEST PROTECTION
If breast cancer is found and treated early, the five-year survival rate is 98 percent.
The social prejudices and stigma associated in screening of breast is to be sensitized.
The success of the scheme depends upon the involvement of radiologists and lab attendants who have to handle with delicate and humane.
Another success of the scheme rests upon instead of bringing the people to lab, the lab itself has to go in search of the patient. For which a handy and portable mammogram has to developed for instant and hassle free Service. 62

As defined at the beginning of this chapter, angiography refers to radiologic imaging of blood vessels after injection of a contrast medium.
To visualize these low-contrast structures, contrast media is injected by a catheter that is placed in the vessel of interest.
Positive contrast media are more commonly used, but there are instances when use of negative contrast media is indicated. Highly specialized imaging equipment is required for these procedures.

MEG is the only technology suitable for functional imaging for DBS patients as they have metal implanted in the skull so fMRI cannot be used. MEG uses a set of very sensitive magnetic sensors placed around the head to detect the magnetic fields associated with the neuronal activity.
Once the signal have been acquired, an image is formed using a technique known as beam forming which uses them to reconstruct the sources within the brain, a technique known as beam forming.
The signals acquired are typically with low signal to noise ratio, non-Gaussian distribution and correlated. Beam forming is therefore challenging. It is particularly difficult for DBS patients because artefacts arise from the coil of wire left beneath the burr hole (through which wires are taken to the battery.

Microwave imaging to diagnose breast cancer
Microwaves are an attractive imaging method for finding breast tumours as the contrast between healthy tissue and tumour is very high. However the resolution is low.
We are working to improve the interpretation of the data gathered from both phantoms and clinical images using microwave clinical imaging system developed in Bristol University.
A spin out company from Bristol University has one of the few clinical systems in use worldwide, which has been used in trials in Frenchay Hospital. This work is funded by EPSRC.

Technological advances have made human imaging possible at scales from a single molecule to the whole body.
By linking the anatomical data collected with emerging imaging technologies to computer simulations, researchers now can form truly functional images of individual patients.
These images will allow physicians not only to see what a patient’s organs look like but also how they are functioning even at the smallest dimensions.
A major challenge is how to store, analyze, distribute, understand and use the enormous amount of data associated with thousands of images.

Biomedical engineering stands at the forefront of this effort because its researchers are able to integrate the engineering tools needed to solve the technological problems of image analysis with the deeper knowledge of the underlying biological mechanisms.
Already, members of the Department of Biomedical Engineering, in close collaboration with the Departments of Applied Mathematics and Statistics, Computer Science, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Radiology, have pioneered the use of imaging technology in computational anatomy, neuropsychiatry, computer-integrated surgery and cardiac procedures.
