Abstract

Recently, informations that clinicians should know to perform the daily practice increase so rapidly thatappropriate use of computer system is needed to handle the large amount of informations efficiently. But little isknown about which system is appropriate to use or how much can we do with personal computer. Authors describe theexperience in developing computer management and data storage system for cardiovascular radiology section in seoulNational University Hospital with APPLE II personal computer and report the experience which we got during recentone year. The results are as follows; 1. Authors describe the data input format for carciovascular radiologysection in Seoul National University Hospital. 2. Authors can get various sums, average and count of datacollected during one month's clinical trial (202 cases) in an hour using our system. 3. Authors suggest that wecan computerize the unite as large as 3,000 to 10,000 examinations per year using personal computer with two 51/4" floppy disk system if length of record is adequately modified. 4. But for more efficient use of accumulateddata(Database), authors recommend the use of large external memory device, such as hard disk.
