Abstract
RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES: To develop a software tool for radiologists to annotate mammograms online. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The tool is web-based with a Java development environment and composed of a Digital Image and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) image viewer, a clinical information collector, and a database. The use of the tool with a sample case is demonstrated in this article. RESULTS: An online tool for the annotation of digital mammograms for teaching and research purposes has been developed. CONCLUSION: This annotation tool can be used to provide an annotated-case library on mammography education for residents and fellows.
