Radiology screen share using HTML5 (claripacs.com)

Hi, I'm one of the creators of this web site. Claripacs screen share lets you show another radiologist or doctor a CT or MRI in real time on the web. Unlike other screen share software, you can temporarily disconnect from the screen share to explore the images on your own, before rejoining the screen share. Many people can join a single screen share, so it can be used in conferences as well as one-on-one consults.

Incidentally, the screen share works by streaming URLs that encode the current series/image number, brightness/contrast, zoom, annotations, split screen layout, etc. When a study is first loaded, the images are preloaded to enable fast scrolling through a study. We use 16-bit grayscale images with lossless compression, to get the best image quality.


you can guide a surgeon remotely !


Yes! Surgeons and other doctors get a text-only report from radiologists, but it's very helpful for them to actually see what we're talking about. That's one of the reasons we created ClariPACS.
