Diagnosis of skin conditions is facilitated by connecting remote operators to an expert consultant over a switched telecommunications network (20). At an operator's station, electrical signals are generated by means of a video camera (15). Images produced by said camera are digitised and compressed prior to transmission over the network. At the expert's station, transmitted data is de-compressed and reconstituted for display and storage. The system allows a consultant dermatologist to receive images of skin conditions from a plurality of general practitioners. |
