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 (PACS); Teleradiology; Voice Recognition (VR) and Electronic Medical Records (EMR). With radiologic-specific websites now numbering in thousands, more and more practitioners need clear guidance on understanding and navigating the Internet, whether for research, images, case material, or commercial purposes.

THE INTERNET FOR RADIOLOGISTS meets 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 the websites mentioned throughout the text.
