An ISDN-based telemedicine system

J Digit Imaging. 1998 Aug;11(3 Suppl 1):93-5. doi: 10.1007/BF03168270.

Abstract

Our preliminary results show the telemedicine system is successful. It does fulfill the 3 goals we set earlier. However, for such a system to be cost effective, the communication cost need to be cut further. In fact, video is not required at all time. We are hoping to establish criteria and operational procedure for use of video. Also some sort of standard should be set up for evaluation of the quality of telemedicine.
