Abstract
Current diagnosis and surgical correction of craniofacial surgery would benefit from accurate and standardized data of computed tomography (CT). The ability of CT to identify bony and soft tissue features makes it particulrary useful for the management of craniofacial skeletal anomalies. Development of computer technology make it easy to store the large volume data of medical digital data and to manipulate the data at the office of surgeon. Digital data produced by modern modalities has its own advantages compare with conventional film datas; Accuracy, permanent storage, reproducibility. and etc. So the storage and archiving of the digital data of craniofacial field would have the utmost significance for the futher development of the craniofacial surgery. The raw data of thirty craniofacial CT data were transferred from a CT system to a personal computer via Ethernet TCP/IP connection. The transmission of DICOM data to the personal computer was successful and the transmitted images and their header information were displayed by DICOM viewing programs. This method of transfer and storage of digital data was useful for managing digital images and convenient for physicians in the hospital without PACS.
