Abstract :
As catheterization laboratories are switching from cinefilm to digital recorded images, the transportation of the images between hospitals can be realized in digital mode. This paper describes the transportation of angiographic images between a referring and a university hospital. Besides the more technical information about transmission speed, etc., it elucidates on those patient categories that clearly profit from these new possibilities.
