[The computer in radiology. findings obtained by the text rail]

As a dedicated solution for professional classification, the COMRAD (COMputer in RADiology) system makes available a "dialog system" that enables the fully integrated processing of operational layouts or word processing and administration of medical practice. The dialog system is based on data files which enable direct access to all stored data as well as the storage of new data, thus avoiding a multiple input and storage. The operational layout of text processing which is to be introduced by this paper, permits radiological findings to be prepared in a flow text, strictly observing a division of the analysis into a descriptive and a evaluative report. The synthesis of the findings is reached through a dialed description of a pathological condition, which is automatically supplemented for assessment by the pertinent evaluation text including its variables. In contrary of assembling text modules the texts of all not directly dialed findings without pathological changes are automatically incorporated both into the description and into the assessment. The variables may be standard attributes, free attributes and pairing attributes.
