On the utilisation of a service-oriented infrastructure to support radiologist training

The rise of service-oriented architectures and technology has, in recent years, started to lead to the opportunity for data sharing on a large-scale. In this paper we report upon how a service-oriented framework has been leveraged to support the development of a training application for radiologists. The application and framework have been developed separately - but sympathetically - with experience in both domains being leveraged to develop the prototype of an end-to-end training system. While the initial system utilises previously collected data, it is intended that in the future the system will interoperate with systems deployed within hospital environments.
