Abstract
The management of diagnostic images and patient records which at present is done by filing films and paper documents is subject to improvement. Especially, with the growing variety and intensity of use of digital imaging modalities the need for communication of images and for computer compatible mass storage has drastically increased. traditional film files have associated with them problems of slow access, loss of images, virtually no possibility for interaction with the stored information, large space requirements, and manual clerical work. The images made by digital modalities are archived by means of CRT hardcopy films and by recording the digital image data on magnetic tape and diskettes. This is done because the CRT camera cannot accurately represent the large contrast resolution available in the digital image data. Moreover, the increasing number of digital imaging modalities necessitates integration and fast access to all the available diagnostic information of a patient during examination planning and treatment, which cannot be offered by existing filing systems.
