Spanish sarcoma expert group COTMES has recently launched its new Web site incorporating an innovative Web 2.0 tool for medical image exchange. COTMES is composed of a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, pathologists, radiologists, radiotherapists, rehabilitators, and medical oncologists specialized in Sarcoma management. The COTMES team has established a win-win partnership with MEDTING, also known as the “YouTube for Doctors”, in order to build a powerful Web-based clinical image management platform integrated in the group’s Web site. With MEDTING every doctor of the committee is able to upload large volumes of clinical images and cases in an automated way. The solution uses MIO (the Medical Images Organizer of the C2C company), which automates the capture and upload of images generated by any medical imaging device (including MRI, CT scanners, digital cameras, etc). The new MEDTING-based platform allows doctors to maintain constant communication facilitating the exchange of the clinical cases to be reviewed every week. The system has also opened the possibility to easily share videos and provide second-opinion services to hospitals all around Spain and beyond.
Information security Patient privacy About COTMES Since 1996 COTMES holds weekly meetings for the multidisciplinary management of patients with limb and trunk soft tissue tumors, primary and metastatic bone and reperitoneum tumors and, in general, of all sarcomas.

Now they have their own site to store and review large amounts of medical images in a secure manner regardless of their location.” Mr. Patricio Ledesma COTMES Technical Manager For further information please contact info@cotmes.com or visit www.cotmes.com
