Abstract
Image storage and communication are very important in the practice of medicine. In the past, storage and communication normally have taken place at a single institution. However, as medical institutions reengineer their practices to increase cost-effectiveness, image communication is playing a greater role in medical care. Digital imaging, telemedicine, medical networks, and the electronic patient record are emerging as important technologies for the multimedia electronic patient record.
