## Indications for use
EchoNet is software which runs on Unix workstations. EchoNet is intended to be used for storing and displaying digital images acquired by digital ultrasound imaging systems. EchoNet provides rapid network access to the imagery and patient demographic data stored on a central server. The system retrieves and stores images as unaltered computer data and as JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) lossy compressed cine-loops. This dual-path storage system allows for rapid access to high quality compressed images with the original unaltered (losslessly compressed) images available on demand. EchoNet is a scalable network system designed to service customers ranging in size from small departments (with 2 or 3 users) to large hospital networks (with tens of users).
