Telemedicine and online conference systems have some benefits so that equalizing medical level, improving efficiency of medical care and improving service for patients. It is possible to give advice and to support its medical projects stationed in other facility and to provide the same quality treatments for patients. In this paper, we set up a experimental network system to teleconference using JGN (Japan Gigabit Network)and tried to discussion alternatively for case study between Kanazawa university and Fukui red cross hospital,70 km away. The JGN used in this study is an ultra-highspeed network for the purpose of research and development. Kanazawa university, and Fukui red cross hospital are connected by a 10 Mbps communication link of the JGN. We tried online conference on the experimental network using video chat system. In result, using video chat system, the average transmission rate of MRI images (256 x 256pixel,16bit) is 0.2 s/flame.
