Medical teleconsultation systems are an important tool in modern medicine, as they enable convenient, real-time collaboration of doctors from remote hospitals, without the need to travel. Due to the large size, efficient handling of medical imaging data in real-time teleconsultations is challenging. Memory management provided by operating systems is based on the virtual memory, which introduces considerable delays. In this paper we propose dedicated methods for memory management, including both memory monitoring and pre-loading of images. Results of the conducted experiments indicate, that the proposed methods can significantly improve the user experience.
