• Cancer Units– Bedford– Peterborough– West Suffolk– Harlow– Hinchingbrooke– King’s Lynn
Project BackgroundProject Background
• NHS Cancer Plan• MDT Meetings
– Specialisation– Data Sets
• Clinicians sharing expertise
• Raise standards and improve patient care
RequirementsRequirements
• Multi-site videoconferencing
• Real-time delivery of microscope images
• Communication and archiving of medical images
• Access to remotely stored patient records through organisational LANs
The DemonstratorThe Demonstrator
• Install, operate and evaluate a comprehensive demonstrator for voice, video and data
• Prototyped over ISDN lines
The VisionThe Vision
• Use the CeSC Access Grid facility to prototype secure VVID services
• Integrate the Access Grid with the demonstrator system
• Implement complex data mining from medical archives
• Investigate use of CeSC grid for remote visualisation of volumetric images

3D Image Visualization3D Image Visualization
• 3D Volume rendered images
• Access to mass imaging data
• Visualization of complex medical imaging
Milestones - Year 1Milestones - Year 1
• Installation of voice, video and data demonstrator at four WACN sites
• Train NHS staff in effective use of system
• Specify NHS requirements for Access Grid
• Prototype CeSC/Addenbrooke’s Access Grid
• Develop additional code to ensure data security
Milestones - Year 2Milestones - Year 2
• Integrate the demonstrator hardware and software with Access Grid system
• Roll-out demonstrator system to remaining WACN sites
• Integrate remote volume visualisation into Access Grid
• Customise Access Grid with NHS requirements based upon demonstrator and prototype systems
Milestones - Year 3Milestones - Year 3
• Full evaluation of the clinical application of the Access Grid system
• Implement complex data mining of compatible data sources
SummarySummary
• Highly topical application
• Using technology to improve clinical decision making processes
• The demonstrator is up and running in four pilot sites
