Abstract
The full capabilities of digital image producing modalities are rarely utilized routinely. Only a small fraction of the available information may be used in the initial diagnosis, and subsequent review is often severely limited by the use of film recordings which may display less than 5% of the original data. An alternative is presented, as a unified digital image distribution and processing system, linking various digital image sources through a high speed data link and a common image format. The system allows for viewing and processing of all images produced within the complex, from viewing stations at any number of convenient locations. The physical handling of storage media is totally eliminated. Complete archiving, file maintenance, and large scale processing capabilities are provided by a central file server. Provisions for hard copy, and the input and output of external image data are also included. The cost of such a system and its operation for ten years is shown to be approximately $0.20 per image.
