NIH-Funded PathMiner Project
1) National repository of digitized pathology
specimens. 2) Web-based telemedicine/computer
assisted diagnosis. 3) Elucidate role of protein
expression in determining morphology for a
spectrum of malignancies.

CERMUSA and Rural Health

• Precepting
• The design of the clinic's telemedicine prototype
  includes a dermascope, otoscope, document camera,
  VCR, and a computer
• Consulting
• In situations where a physician cannot be on
  site, local telecommunications provide access to
  diverse sites with the ability to relay images
  via Internet2 for expert review

High Performance Group-to-Group Collaboration
104 sites as of 6/02
http//www-fp.mcs.anl.gov/fl/accessgrid/
13
The Research Channelwww.researchchannel.org

• Goal to use program content creation and
  manipulation processes as testing medium for
  analog and digital broadcast and on-demand
  multimedia offerings, thus providing an unusual
  opportunity to experiment with new methods of
  distribution and interaction on a global basis.

14
Eastern Orthopaedic Research Network (EastORN)

• Goal to enable lifelong learning for orthopedic
  surgeons
• Requires high speed networks for real time
  streaming of live surgeries
• Network as a teaching aid
