This paper describes the ongoing work on mobile teleradiology systems in the EC-funded project MTM. The current development is based on the CHILI software architecture which provides a PACS and teleradiology infrastructure. The authors collected user requirements in a first step. Appropriate hardware has been selected based on these requirements. Dedicated software versions of CHILI have been r...

Advances in healthcare information technology have enabled new models for electronic delivery of healthcare services. In this article, we present the case of electronic delivery of radiological services and describe the market-based and technological factors that have led to the development of Internet-based service models for flexible delivery of radiological services. Specifically, we describ...

This review paper is based on medical image compression using various image compression techniques. In this paper comparative analysis of different compression techniques and their applications in the rising fields of medical science such as e-health, telemedicine, teleradiology has been carried out. There has been abundant research work carried on medical image compression. Even though, the me...

Over the past decade, hospitals have been the primary PACS consumers. The increase in imaging procedures measured against the decrease in the number of radiologists, however, has created a coverage crisis. Offsite reading and reliance on day and nighthawk teleradiology services are growing, and demands have surfaced for PACS solutions to support new business models. Typical large reading groups...
