Abstract

The design and implementation of a multimedia workstation capable of handling images, voice, graphics and other computer data for radiological applications is described. This workstation is part of a multimedia communications system that was implemented by a multi-disciplinary, multi-institutional team of researchers. The system was installed in a large teaching hospital affiliated with the University of Ottawa, Canada and underwent extensive clinical evaluations. In the paper we describe the design and evaluation process for the user interface to the workstation.
