The aim of the new developments in telemedicine is to optimize medical care by the use of new communication technologies. Teleconsultation is a basic component of telemedicine. Telepresence systems demand high-quality video transmissions and interactive communication. Comparison of the quality of the transmitted pictures demonstrates that an ISDN connection is not suitable for live video transmissions. In contrast to this the SICONET/OP 2000 communication module allows the setup of an interactive telepresence system with 3D visualization in broadcast quality.
