Which Telecommunications medium can be used for Telepathology?
Depending on data transfer rate requirements and economic considerations, images can be transmitted by means of common telephone lines (twisted pairs of copper wire), digital phone lines (ISDN, Switched 56, ADSL), coaxial cable, fiber-optic cable, microwave, satellite, T1, and T3 telecommunication links. Over the next several years, ISDN lines which offer high speed and better line quality than standard dial-up phone lines will become popular. Other high-speed lines including ADSL, T1, and T3, will also become more popular as prices continue to fall and accessibility increases.
