Application And Study Of A Teleconsultation System Based On Internet Using For Orthodontics And Orthognathic Surgery

Following the development of modern telecommunication technology, computer technology, network technology, image processing technology and medicine, a new intersection branch of science formed, it is tele-medicine. Telemedicine is a new medical way of medicine, one of its services is teleconsultation. At present, it has become extremely necessary for various big hospitals to develop telemedicine so as to meet the needs of the society and patients, and improve the hospital's social and economic benefits. In this study, a computerized medical information system was established to obtain and manage the patient's relevant materials in clinic of orthodontics and orthognathic surgery. In addition, as the basis of correct diagnosis and proper planning in orthodontic and orthognathic surgery clinic, a computer-aided tele-x-ray cephalometric analysis system and an orthognathic surgery operation imitating system was set up. Based on these, a teleconsultation system using for orthodontics and orthognathic surgery was developed, so as to raise the level of clinical diagnosis and treatment. This paper included four parts as follows: 1. Design and development of a content-based retrieval information system using for orthodontics and orthognathic surgeryWith the help of color scanner, employing computer technology, network technology and others, a content-based retrieval information system using for orthodontics and orthognathic surgery was designed and developed, the principle functions and features of the system mainly as follows:(1) The system could manage the information of patients subjected to orthodontics and orthognathic surgery, which included main clinical case's records, photos, X-film,...
