Abstract
To implement an oral and maxillofacial radiology image management and communication system (OMFR IMACS) in the School of Dentistry, National Taiwan University. An OMFR IMACS has been implemented over 3 years in three phases: (1) Establishment of an OMFR image processing laboratory for research and graduate student training; (2) Installation of network infrastructure and (3) Total system integration. Intraoral, panoramic, cephalometric, and TMJ radiographs are directly processed with digital image acquisition devices or are converted into a digital format for viewing via UTP cable through FastEthernet in the eleven different divisions of the school. The system archives about 400 Mb of imaging data daily, representing 80% of the workload of the OMFR Division. The system is now used parallel to the conventional film-library system and has been integrated as part of the oral health service.
