Multiuser environment for the display and processing of digital cardiac angiographic images

The increased application of digital imaging techniques to diagnostic cardiology requires the resolution of several remaining problems involving the transmis sion display and storage of clinical image data. A Digital Imaging Laboratory is being assembled for the purpose of addressing these problems on a routine clinical basis in a high volume environment. The laboratory consists of independent workstations connected over a local area network which can be accessed by different users for display analysis and storage of diagnostic image data. In addition the laboratory is connected to a hospital-wide network providing communication with other clinical laboratories and other digital imaging modalities.© (1990) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
