Abstract

Information technology and communication systems have made imaging in women’s health easier at many levels. There are now many commercial systems on the market, which improve the management of appointment systems, digital storage, and reporting of images, transmission of reports, teaching, and consultation particularly in large departments. This chapter discusses the use of communication technology for many aspects of imaging including transfer of images, data storage, teaching, and training as well as audit and accounting or budgeting, information sharing and research. Ultrasound imaging is used within the examples for this chapter, although many of the comments apply equally to other imaging modalities such as Xray, CT scanning, or MRI.
