Teleradiology over the Internet

Abstract

The WEBRAD (Web Radiology) project is a testbed to demonstrate the use of standard Internet tools and techniques applied to teleradiology. This is a joint project between the Radiology Department of the Imaging Science and Information Systems (ISIS) Center at Georgetown University Medical Center (GUMC) in Washington DC and the Analogic Corporation, Peabody, Massachusetts. This project utilizes standard TCP/IP client-server tools for the World Wide Web (WWW), Web-based hypertext pages for navigation, Web-based image viewing tools and Web-based form interaction to conduct routine clinical teleradiology diagnosis. The objective of this project is to develop a user-friendly radiologist-oriented interface using the familiar navigation and viewing tools of the WWW.
