The present invention provides systems and methods for enhancing the
delivery and display of medical images over a network. Authorized users
may access and view images by accessing a secure server and selecting
images for viewing. Various characteristics of the image or images being
viewed may be manipulated. Additionally, measuring devices, such as a
goniometer, may be placed on an image to measure distances, angles and
the like. In one embodiment, one or more templates, for example of
medical devices, may be placed on an image and manipulated. In another
embodiment, two or more users may view the same image simultaneously,
while also viewing a template, measuring device, image manipulations and
the like simultaneously. In yet another embodiment, two or more users may
discuss one or more images via a discussion board.
