Photo CD for clinical imaging.
This paper examines the use of Photo CD as a source for printing clinical images for patients' medical case notes. Advantages include multiple resolutions, no capital investment in digital equipment, and professional and flexible presentation of pictures in patients' notes. Disadvantages include increased running costs for every film, a limited number of images stored on each CD and the requirement to set up a comprehensive image database to store and retrieve digital images.
