Abstract:
Digital media have become standard documentation tools in modern ENT clinics. To date, multiple formats are generated by variable data sources. Old fashioned archiving techniques with numerous print-outs, hard copies or even slides would soon generate an unmanageable data flood and require costly manpower for proper and precise maintenance. It has become obvious that data archiving is the prime challenge for modern hospital information technology. Multiple computerized multimedia archives exist and offer promising solutions for collecting and managing these data. From a clinical point of view, not only data centralisation but also interactions with existing network components and hospital information technology systems have to be made available. Here, we describe variable data sources and formats, centralisation techniques, networking options and discuss available digital documentation solutions.

Methods of Documentation I: Source-Oriented Records
In an SOR, each discipline involved in patient care maintains a separate medical record section. This record-keeping method enables easy tracking of patient progress and ensures healthcare staff have access to up-to-date information.
Key Attributes include the following:
Imaging Biological Samples with Optical Microscopy
In optical microscopy, the specimen to be viewed is placed on a glass slide and clipped on the stage...

Functioning of Photosystems
Photosystems contain many pigment molecules, such as chlorophylls and carotenoids, arranged in a particular organization across two domains — the antenna complex and the reaction center. The main aim of the pigment molecules...
