DIGITAL TEACHING FILE IN INTERVENTIONAL RADIOLOGY

We have created a digital teaching file in interventional radiology. B ased in FilemakerPro, this file is used simultaneously on Macintosh an d Windows platforms in our department. Each case can contain up to 20 images or Quick-Time movies. Cases can be searched on the basis of dem ographic data, case type, ACR codes, CPT codes, and RSNA key words. Cu rrently, images are acquired on an ongoing basis using a Kodak DC420 d igital camera. At the time of the SCAR conference, we anticipate suppl ementing or supplanting this mode of image acquisition with 1 digital data direct from our 3 Toshiba CAS-8000 angiography units and 2 PACS, This teaching file is currently shared on our local area network. We a nticipate soon having the capability to share it as a searchable datab ase on the World Wide Web. Copyright (C) 1998 by W.B. Saunders Company .
