  • Database

All there – fully functional and FREE.  The best part is that it will read and write the various Microsoft Office formats for each of its most popular components.

Images were wither served from a centralized server, or via CD-ROM from the individual workstation, depending on how they were received.

System automatically generates a unique document identifier and gathers various categorical information about the   document   and   integrates   with   Word   Perfect   5.1   to   compose   standardized   document   headers.  Document information is stored in several Paradox tables and also uploaded to mainframe computer.  Provides searching/reporting functions.

These reports are given to top management and the EPA. This system, which  I suggested, will  save the company approximately five man weeks each year.

The system saves valuable time in providing patient services. This PC based product has tremendous cost advantages over existing systems.

The system was designed to service hospitals and radiologists in rural environments, where the time it would take for a staff radiologist to get to the hospital from his home could be an hour or more.

The system involved setting up a real-time interface to a video digitizer and continuously   scanning   the   digitized   image   for   abnormalities.   When   one   was   encountered,   it   was  cataloged. When the program terminated, a complete report was printed out.
