Abstract
The distribution of high-resolution medical images to smart devices, in a health organization premises, is considered in this work. The aim is to reduce network traffic and computation load (of the smart devices). Security issues are also considered. The approach takes full advantage of the parallel processing on medical images performed on the server side, exploiting GPGPUs processing power. Data are pre-calculated and modified to best fit the targeted smart device’s display. The evaluation results show minimization on processing requirements at the smart device, while network traffic is reduced significantly when few actions are performed on the image.
