Presentation of dermatological images on the Internet.
In this paper, we focused on selected problems of integrating and presenting medical images organised in a World Wide Web (WWW) database. To solve these problems we developed a prototype of a bilingual (Slovenian and English) WWW database of medical images for the field of dermatology. This dermatology database includes a graphic interface with four modes of access: (1) browsing, (2) searching, (3) comparison of images, and (4) self-testing. The quantity and quality of requests to this WWW database was estimated with log file analysis. There was a steady increase in the number of users and volume of data transferred from the dermatology WWW database.
