This paper provides a short overview of the project experience obtained with image storage on optical disk. Further details will be given elsewhere. On the basis of the considerations mentioned at the beginning of the Paper, however, it can already be concluded that such an image storage system will play an important role in future routine work. Storage and communication tasks within the radiological department will be supported effectively by such a system. However, for a long time to come, communication with referral departments without the use of film as the information carrier will remain a prospect only.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
