A method for displaying two images on a screen in distance medical education.
This article describes a method for simultaneously displaying several images on a screen during an online multimedia presentation. Users with 'REALPLAYER' software and Web browsers can view images with synchronous audio on their personal computers via the Internet. Medical researchers and physicians often find it useful to compare images after treatment with those before treatment, by displaying several arranged images simultaneously. Medical care providers can browse this type of multimedia content in their offices and universities at their convenience. There presently exist two methods for creating multimedia content with voice and images using RealSystem technology. Electronic lectures of otorhinolaryngology explaining new surgical procedures for patients with chronic otitis media were created with this method and made available to otorhinolaryngologists through the Internet.
