Columbia University Medical Center, Dr. Melton, digital breast imaging pictures through broadband Internet accurate long-distance transmission, and the doctor can be realized in different localities of Film.

Researchers on a region-wide digital mammography images (FFDM) images of the long-distance transmission accuracy, speed, direct connectivity and security digital computer-aided detection (CAD) system interface of the study. They will be two FFDM detection unit, a CAD system and the initial diagnosis centers and 110 miles of breast imaging workstation assessment connected through cable and the Internet with multiple virtual private network, without compression (an average of 125 MB) of the image data in real-time to assess remote workstations . Right image transmission speed, image quality, image and CAD signs reading for analysis.
