[Experience in the development of an automated information retrieval system in roentgenoradiology]

The first version of an automated data retrieval system in radiology, radiobiology and oncology has been developed in the Research Institute of Oncology and Medical Radiology of the Ministry of Health, Byelorussian Soviet Socialist Republic. The system is realized on the basis of a packet of applied programs of an automated document processing system, computerized data-bases of the All-Union Scientific and Technical Information Institute and the ES-1022 computer. The system functions in the following modes: 1--selective propagation of information on 194 fixed requests of users; 2--personal search in the dialogue mode; 3--updating of data files. The use of the automated system made it possible to enhance the effectiveness and quality of document search as compared to conventional forms of operation.
