Expensive Image Capture

Expensive Image Capture Techniques Radiology departments will typically spend millions on a computer system to use for imaging. The reason they are so expensive is that radiology image files contain millions of pixels. The files are big and you need a special very high resolution monitor to view them. Subtle radiological evidence may be lost if you do not use such high resolution - even this resolution is not as perfect as a film. If your institution has such an installation you may be able to transfer an image from the system to the Internet. However, it is very likely that the image would be way too big to view and much too big a file to send. You should compress the image before sending it on the Internet even though this degrades its original quality. You cannot view that quality on the Internet Browsers anyway.
