摘要：

Teleradiology refers to the transmission of clinical images from their source to remote sites. In this paper a low-cost means of establishing teleradiology using conventional personal computers is described. This is a simple and effective means of transmitting valuable clinical data from hospital to hospital, and hospital to individual, markedly enhancing the quality of clinical communication. The system described herein has proved invaluable in a busy neurosurgical department, in both emergency and more routine settings. Teleradiology has the potential to transform the early management of critically ill and injured patients, especially those from remote parts of Australia.
