title: RETAIN--an ATM pilot project for applications in health care.
abstract: The availability of ATM-based broadband wide-area networks facilitates a range of new applications in health care, especially the performance of videoconferences combined with software for computer-supported cooperative discussion and diagnosis of digital medical images. This report about a research project for applications of the 'European ATM pilot network' in radiology describes the technical, economic and structural framework for the application of broadband technology in health care.
