PURPOSE Collecting and analyzing findings constitute the basis of medical activity. Computer assisted medical activity raises the problem of modelling findings. We propose a unified representation of findings integrating the representations of findings in the GAMUTS in Radiology [M.M. Reeder, B. Felson, GAMUTS in radiology Comprehensive lists of roentgen differential diagnosis, fourth ed., 2003...

Aims: The morphology of the condyle varies according to the race of the population in different places. Moreover, the identification of morphologies can be effective in diagnosing the pathogenesis and type of treatment of patients. Therefore, in this study, the researchers examine condyl morphology images using digital panoramic imaging. Materials and methods: This descriptive-analytical stud...

In many circles, the justification for purchasing a picture archiving and communication system (PACS) has already been settled because of the proliferation of image data. A PACS is used to acquire medical images digitally from the various modalities, such as computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, ultrasound, nuclear medicine, and digital radiography (1). The need to manage, ...

We present the design and implementation of a digital image capture and distribution system that supports remote ultrasound ezaminations and, in particular, real-time diagnosis for these ezaminations. The system was designed in conjunction with radiologists and staff in the Department of Radiology at the University of Virginia hospital. Based on readily available microcomputer components, our t...
