INTEGRATED, RADIOLOGICAL DATABASE STRUCTURE

Abstract

The rapid development of medical imaging requires proper preparation of medical database structure for multimedia information acquired during a patient visit. This paper presents a study on integrated structure of a radiological database based on DICOM, HL7 standards and on medical coding systems. Conclusions are based on the Radiological Information System project prepared for the Institute of Radiology, Medical University of Gdansk.
