Sistemas de imágenes utilizando discos ópticos

Abstract

This paper defines the concept of imaging technology, the particular hardware needed to support it and the use of the optical disk as the medium for the storage of electronic images. In order to have a better understanding of the imaging technology, the different types of optical disks are mentioned and a brief discussion on how imaging systems work and their unique hardware is included. Finally, the steps leading to the development of the first imaging system in Puerto Rico are presented.
