OBJECTIVE. The World-Wide Web on the Internet enables an exchange of m
ultimedia information among remote desktop computers. Therefore, a tel
eradiology system using the Web would allow remote consultation with e
xpert radiologists. Our objective was to establish a Web-based prototy
pe system for image interpretation. CONCLUSION, Our system allows a ph
ysician to transmit clinically useful images to an expert radiologist
at a different location, who can see them on a Web browser and discuss
diagnoses with the physician.
