Purpose:
To describe a teleradiology system accessible via a PC and a common web browser.
Material And Methods:
A dedicated system is connected to several radiological imagers (DR, US, CT, MR) with DICOM standard and TCP/IP protocol. The images are visualised in a common web browser on a remote PC by connecting to the dedicated web-site. Compressed images are visualised on a web page. Special toolbars allow specific operations to be performed on the images (brightness-contrast, zoom, distance measurement and ROI defining) and the communication with the radiological centre.
Results:
The graphic interface is user-friendly and does not require any special knowledge, except for basic PC and internet surfing. Image compression can be set to preserve image quality, and image transfer is fast.
Conclusions:
The system presented overcomes the limitations of conventional teleradiology systems since it requires no special network or dedicated software, allowing for visualisation of a radiological examination on a PC and a common web browser.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
