Prototype system for archiving and transmitting digitized radiographs

A prototype system for archiving and transmitting digitized dental radiographs is described. The system uses a CCD video camera, IBM compatible personal computer with a frame-grabber and a high resolution VGA monitor. All archived images were compressed lossless by a factor of about 3. Digitized radiographs were archived together with their exposure data and assembled in an examination with a unique identifier and date of examination, together with the patient's history and reason for radiological examination. A radiological report with a list of differential diagnoses could be attached. Each examination could contain 50 digitized radiographs which could be converted to a tagged image file (TIFF) and printed halftone with a laser printer. Users of the system could receive examinations from the network-server and share the images in a local area network.
