Apple iphone the most talked about gadget, good to flip your music, your videos, your phone contacts and now a new addition to view your medical images. Just a fortnight back we spoke about iphone being used in the medical field, but now we have pictures also to show you. Heart Imaging Technologies (HeartIT) has declared that medical images can now be viewed on Apple's new iPhone. Doctors can simply click on a web link on the phone sent via email by one of their colleagues, enter their password, and view medical images. They can even put their colleagues on speakerphone and carry on a medical consultation while at the same time browse through the imaging results.

Medical images displayed in a web browser have formerly been of lower quality and therefore had limited diagnostic utility. This technology is the first to provide physicians with the ability to drill-down and view medical images, including movies, on a hand-held device.
