Objectives:
To develop a computer based storage system for clinical images-radiographs, photographs, ECGs, text-for use in teaching, training, reference and research within an accident and emergency (A&E) department. Exploration of methods to access and utilise the data stored in the archive.
Methods:
Implementation of a digital image archive using flatbed scanner and digital camera as capture devices. A sophisticated coding system based on ICD 10. Storage via an "intelligent" custom interface.
Results:
A practical solution to the problems of clinical image storage for teaching purposes.
Conclusions:
We have successfully developed a digital image capture and storage system, which provides an excellent teaching facility for a busy A&E department. We have revolutionised the practice of the "hand-over meeting".
