In this paper we present a project developed in our University in order to provide Lublin hospitals with efficient software tools for 3D medical image processing and transmission. The system covers the entire image flowpath in the Diagnostic Radiology Department (i.e. image acquisition, processing, archiving, long term storage) and allows transmission of medical images through the Metropolitan Area Network. About 22000 CT examinations have been archived using our system. Over 300 special examinations for radiotherapy planning have been sent to the Lublin's Oncology Centre.
