A Java-based teleradiology system to provide services over a heterogeneous network.
This paper describes a teleradiology system developed to provide services over a heterogeneous networks environment. The system can transfer radiology images and provide real-time consultations and diagnostics over the telephone, Integrated Service Digital Network (ISDN), as well as a generic hospital network. The network incorporates Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN), ATM switches, and an IP router. The Java Language is used in developing this system. This teleradiology system is flexible, effective, and provides for high performance for end users. The system has been tested over all above networks and the results have shown that the system is robust and efficient.
