Abstract
Management of the vast amounts of medical images and information generated by today’s clinical services is a growing problem [1]. The solution to the problem will increasingly require the use of advanced computer-based technologies in data storage, image display and communication, and human engineering. Progress in individual technologies has been rapid; however, system integration and user acceptance have been slow in coming.
