Main Methods:

  • Discussion of the installation and usage of PC MASS (floppy disk-based).
  • Analysis of SilverPlatter Radiology (CD-ROM-based) features.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Comparative evaluation against the Index to Imaging Literature and MEDLINE.

    • Main Results:

    • PC MASS and SilverPlatter Radiology provide enhanced retrieval capabilities.
    • Both systems present distinct advantages and disadvantages compared to the Index.
    • Telecommunication access to general medical databases like MEDLINE offers a broader scope.

    Conclusions:

    • Computerized radiology databases offer superior retrieval over traditional indexes.
    • The choice between PC MASS, SilverPlatter, or MEDLINE depends on specific user needs.
    • These digital tools enhance access to radiology literature for practitioners.
