[Computer documentation of malignomas of the mouth, jaws and face using the BAIK system]

The computer-supported documentation of head and neck tumors by means of the BAIK-system is presented. The experience after introducing the project to clinical routine use in patient's treatment is outlined. The subsystems of BAIK are critically reviewed for this purpose. Although we realize some drawbacks of BAIK the system proved to be useful for our application, mainly because of its strong retrieval functions, combining coded and free text data manipulation.
