Abstract

Web-based standard radiology images were successfully piloted and initially deployed to over 1300 users for on-sight intranet access. User feedback from the pilot yielded positive reports for ease of use, convenience and acceptable format. Technical deployment of thin client technology was found to be complex, time consuming and replaced with an alternate vendor strategy. One month implementation utilization data suggests moderate use of standard images. Recommendations yielded interest in pursuing Web access to enhanced digital radiology images and off-sight access.
