Abstract
The requirements for implementing a radiology imaging network are described. Desirable features of such a network include: the ability to acquire approximately one gigabyte of digitally formatted data per day; data transmission rates of over 2 megabits per second; high resolution display systems with matrix sizes of at least 1280 x 1024 x 12 bits and screen display time of one-half second; archiving capacity for a data base totaling one terabyte; rapid generation of hard copy images upon demand; and compatability of the radiologic imaging network with the hospital information management system.
