title: Computer networks for image management in radiology: an overview.
abstract: Currently, images obtained from digital radiographic modalities are archived and managed as analog images recorded on radiographic film. An alternative for total image management is a computer-based digital network. General design considerations for a digital image network are reviewed, and estimates of important system parameters are determined.
