"Today
the WHC system is such that anyone who has ever downloaded a file
from the Internet can master eMedcon™ in minutes. We feel
that our Internet image exchange abilities enhance WHC’s reputation
as a service-oriented facility and that the dramatically improved
image turnaround time gives us a real edge in competition for business."

Consultations and image
exchange over the Web made easy.
eMedcon facilitates
exchange of information over a customized secure website in an e-mail
like exchange.
This software-based digital image transfer system allows digital images
to be compressed while maintaining diagnostic quality. The images are
then transferred to multiple sites over the Internet at a relatively low
cost.
Any standard Windows-based computer that has Internet access supports
eMedcon.
eMedcon requires
the simple download of a 3-megabyte program that is incorporated into
the Internet Explorer media player, and does not require any prior knowledge
to operate.
