Grid simulation services for the medical community. (English) Zbl 1222.74048

Summary: The first part of this paper presents a selection of medical simulation applications, including image reconstruction, near-real-time registration for neuro-surgery, enhanced dose distribution calculation for radiotherapy, inhaled drug delivery prediction, plastic surgery planning and cardio-vascular system simulation. The latter two topics are discussed in some detail. In the second part, we show how such services can be made available to the clinical practitioner using grid technology. We discuss the developments made and the experience gained during the EU project GEMSS, which provides reliable, efficient, secure and lawful medical grid services.
