| pubmed-article:8284195 | pubmed:abstractText | An experimental radiologic reporting system using oral presentations has been developed and tested. The rewritable and compact magneto-optical disk (MOD) is employed to store oral diagnostic reports together with read radiologic images. The MOD is 5.25 inches in diameter, has a 600 MB memory capacity, and is erasable, light and compact. Advantages of the system are simultaneous retrieval of oral reports by a radiologist and the images he or she interpreted, and the capability of media circulation in addition to the function of filing. Thus MOD has a multimedia function of both off-line communication and filing. When medical images are interpreted and oral presentations are registered, automatically digitized oral reports and digitized images are filed in the MOD. Referring physicians can get oral diagnostic reports and can see the images at the same time on a personal computer. Furthermore, integration with voice recognition capability is being tried in our experiment. | lld:pubmed |
