  • Development of an image viewer with thumbnail browsing and selectable image quality.

    • Main Results:

    • The system enables rapid transmission of clinical images between hospitals, with data transfer rates of 1-2 minutes per 500 Kbyte.
    • The image database contains approximately 200 cases acquired over two years, with a mean of 470 accesses in a recent 3-month period.
    • The system proved effective for communication and image treatment between hospitals, supporting educational and research objectives.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed interhospital network system is a valuable tool for enhancing communication and collaborative image analysis in healthcare.
    • The system simplifies the process of sharing and accessing digitized clinical images for educational and research purposes.
    • The implemented technology offers a practical solution for inter-institutional medical data exchange and knowledge dissemination.
