Tropical Medicine Imaging Project (TMIP) Phase II
Abstract
The objective of this Tropical Medicine Central Resource (TMCR) is to create a global resource for health care providers on Tropical Medicine, with emphasis on the radiology of tropical diseases. This resource would be available on CD-ROM, but would be more universally available over the Internet. By having such a resource available, it will be much more likely that appropriate diagnoses will be made in a timely fashion with corresponding definitive treatment. This will result in decreased morbidity and mortality in both civilian and military populations, and a tremendous cost saving from deferred medical transports and decreased treatment time. Implementation of the project will happen in various phases: a. Gleaning optimal images and information for the various diseases (performed by subject matter experts) b. Digitizing approved images/photographs c. Inserting images and text into an electronic format d. Connecting images/text into a database-driven search/retrieve engine e. Displaying information over the internet and reproducing information on CD-ROM Deliverables listed on original SOW: 1. Produce a working demonstration "Tropical Medicine Website" from a subset of archived collection of images. 2. Produce a Tropical Medicine CD-ROM" from a subset of the archived collection of images.
