This paper describes the implementation of a computational scheme in the homepage of the Laboratory of Images Analysis and Digitilization, at the Department of Electrical Engineering of the "Escola de Engenharia de São Carlos ¾ Universidade de São Paulo", São Carlos, SP, Brazil. This computational scheme was designed to provide an interactive tool for the remote user to generate reports and analyze mammography images via network, allowing immediate assessment of the results. The scheme was developed by inserting a bank of selected digitilized mammography images that are linked to a database containing the reports provided by radiologists. Since this process is intended to be used for training in diagnostic evaluation in mammography, a report given by a specialist is provided at the end of each evaluation for comparison with the user's report as well as the percentage of correct statements of the user. This scheme, called "Laudos Online", is intended to be used as a remote learning tool that allows the user to improve his knowledge on mammography.
