Abstract
A unique communications system that transmits images via telephone lines is enabling doctors in outlying areas to obtain instantaneous, expert diagnostic assistance from major medical centers. The Vidicom system presently allows a Redding, California, medical group called Shasta Scans, to transmit computerized axial tomography (CAT) scans to the Moffitt Hospital at the University of California in San Francisco for diagnosis.
