Abstract
This is the first of two papers that will describe the outcome of a needs assessment that focused on the image-related needs of dental faculty members and clinicians. The needs assessment was conducted in 2005 at the University at Buffalo School of Dental Medicine. It addressed two specific goals: to begin examining whether online delivery of digitized dental images would match the needs of dental faculty members and clinicians, and to begin examining what type of image metadata would best match the needs of those faculty members and clinicians.
