The latest volume in the popular "Internet for" series, this title serves as a guidebook to the Internet, but specifically for the radiology practice. The Internet and related technologies have had significant impact on the field of radiology, enabling the acceptance, installation and proliferation of adjunct technologies such as Picture Archiving Communication Systems (PACS); Teleradiology; Voice Recognition (VR) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). With radiologic-specific websites now numbering in the thousands, more and more practitioners need clear guidance on understanding and navigating the Internet, whether for research, images, case material, or commercial purposes. This book fills this need with authoritative coverage of the general application of the Internet in medicine, radiology websites, teleradiology, electronic medical records and patient care. A bonus CD-ROM provides direct links to over 500 websites mentioned throughout the text.
From the reviews:
"Part one of the book (31 pages) begins by outlining the history of the World Wide Web, the hardware and software involved and how it is all combined to form active networks. ... Part two (15 pages) is concerned with ‘tools of utility’ ... . Part three (10 pages) covers the technologies revolutionising radiology. ... Part four provides 69 pages of radiology website addresses. ... It should prove useful for registrars embarking on the radiology route, as it would for undergraduate radiography students." (D Peach, RAD Magazine, October, 2003)
"This book is part of a series covering the use of Internet in various medical specialities. ... The range of topics covered is wide. The text is generally well written and easy to read. The list of websites is very valuable. ...
