Abstract:
In this paper, we present method to process medical images on the grid in the seamless manner. The only software required on the client side is a web browser which is used to upload files, submit analysis and present results. The proposed solution is easy to deploy and use. It meets user requirements to focus on medical diagnosis rather than technical details. The proposed system is built based on the UNICORE grid middleware including recently developed UNICORE Portal. It is deployed on the Polish National Grid Infrastructure (PLGrid). Due to the novel grid technology, the whole process is handled in the secure way without additional inconveniences. The developed infrastructure has been used to segment and partition the airspaces in a human head.
