System, method and recording medium for centralized management of medical images

摘要

Storage space for medical image data in medical facilities can be reduced substantially at low cost, and the medical image data can be stored and managed by an easy operation. Medical image data converted from medical images photographed in medical facilities into digital signals are stored in hard discs of client terminals, in addition to accompanying information regarding the image data. Each of the client terminals is connected to an image database server installed in an Internet provider via a telephone line. The image data and the accompanying information stored in the image database server are transmitted, received, and searched for by checking a password.
