Abstract

This article describes a system for the acquisition, storage and secure remote access to information generated by a hospital´s devices for image diagnosis. The system allows the experts of a medical centre to recover and manage information. Our solution also makes it possible to obtain more elaborate results, thanks to the implemented functionalities of image analysis (edge detectors, clustering algorithms, etc.) and the storage of historical diagnosis results that give a certain experience to the application.
