“…This requirement gives rise to a serious technical challenge where moving images must be transmitted smoothly, as the size of these images is much greater than that of still images. Tele-radiology, tele-pathology, and tele-ophthalmology are successful examples of telemedicine using still images, whereas tele-surgery, for example, requires a completely different system to meet doctors' demands for streaming video (4-7). Additionally, cost is an important issue in telemedicine because it typically requires special equipment, which can be very expensive.…”

“…12 Many such networks are government-funded or run by nonprofit organizations, and higher education establishments as well as research centers are well connected. 11 These institutions can use this high-speed Internet anytime, without additional cost for individuals. In Japan, for example, the Science Information Network (SINET) is funded by the Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, and around 700 centers are connected.…”

“…Nevertheless, once again the video image quality is only good enough for remote sites to recognize the person at the other end. The transmission of surgical videos would result in degraded and sluggish moving images without good recognition of fine anatomical structures, despite the initial high cost of the equipment (Shimizu et al, 2010). Meanwhile, demands for even better quality video than that provided by DVTS are increasing rapidly, owing to high-definition (HD) quality medical equipment now being widely used in clinical settings.…”
