Area of Science:

  • Medical Illustration
  • Digital Imaging
  • Information Management

Background:

  • Medical Illustration Departments at Western Infirmary and Gartnavel General Hospital adopted digital cameras in 1998.
  • This led to a significant increase in the volume of digital images stored.
  • Existing file naming conventions (job number, consultant, department) made searching by other parameters labor-intensive.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the need for an efficient, flexible, and user-friendly system for defining and organizing digital images.
  • To evaluate and compare the three best available software products for digital image management.

Main Methods:

  • A comparative analysis of three leading digital image management software solutions.
  • Testing focused on efficiency, flexibility, and ease of use for medical image organization.
