Abstract
- The data acquired by the new medical imaging techniques, in many ways, exceeded our ability to properly store, transmit and use the images produced. As diagnostic imaging procedures become progressively less invasive and traumatic, they are being applied to a much larger patient population. The decrease in memory and other instrumentation costs, along with expanded technological capability of computer systems, has provided medicine an opportunity to create network systems for the storage, processing, recall, and remote location of these diagnostic images. Therefore, problems of access and confidentiality have become increasingly important. This communication will consider certain medical, legal, and ethical aspects of these technologies of data acquisition, storage, manipulation and retrieval.
