Abstract
Telemedicine can broadly be defined as the application of modern telecommunication systems for clinical purposes. The essential feature is that there is remote consultation: the doctor and patient are in different places often separated by large distances. Such remote consultation usually requires the transfer of images from the referral centre to a centre of expertise.
