Teleradiology is the most widely practised form of telemedicine and the necessary equipment is readily available. Dosimetrists, physicists and physicians rely heavily upon digital imaging modalities in their daily work. In the current healthcare marketplace, radiotherapy treatment planning is a field that really hinges upon digital medical imaging. The limiting technical factor is often the communication links between the two sides. As a consequence, the development of network-based radiotherapy image communication may yield a significant impact on the clinical operation of such centres. This paper describes the design and implementation of a Lublin teleradiology system to facilitate access to CT images at County Hospital and data transfer using metropolitan-area-network to Oncology Center for radiotherapy. Our system is successfully working since March 2000.
