Image transmission method, image transmission apparatus, and image transmission program

摘要

Volume data formed of tomographic images (medical images) is stored in a storage unit of a data center. Recorded in a tag area of each tomographic image is site information indicating the site contained in each tomographic image. A data server of the data center reads the volume data from the storage unit in response to a transmission request from a medical facility. Then, the data server extracts from the volume data the tomographic images of the same site as designated by the transmission request. The data server transmits the extracted tomographic images to the medical facility which made the transmission request.
