Abstract
Existing and exciting cooperation between physicians in radiology and cardiology may be enhanced through the introduction of computer support in the form of multi-user applications within desktop conferencing (DTC). An understanding of the way the existing media of images and documents are used is important for the design of such facilities. An analysis has been carried out of the shared workspace activities of physicians. The findings have been used to derive the functional requirements and design recommendations for DTC. This paper summarizes the analysis, the findings, an architecture for the integration of multimedia medical information systems with desktop conferencing, and briefly describes a prototype that has been implemented.
