We developed a completely secured teleradiology solution tailored for e-mail teleradiology applications at low-cost. Data processing consists in creating a couple of files with an encrypted and compressed image archive and a 128 bits decoding key file. No proprietary file format or encryption scheme is used. Files are exchanged using the e-mail (SMTP and POP) protocols, but FTP or sFTP can be used for better performances. Software includes original features such as real-time interactive JPEG compression, instant archive preview or secured data cleanup when a user logs off. We believe that this flexible, integrated and easy to use solution is a robust alternative to more complex architectures for simple image transmissions or occasional circumstances.
