ADVANCED INFORMATION PROCESSING ARCHITECTURE FOR PACS

这项建议的目标是开发一种医疗信息 该处理系统可以执行以下操作：(1)提供透明 和方便地访问完整的电子病历，以及(2) 基于信息内容检索医疗文档和图像(例如， 病理学、放射学发现)，而不是人工钥匙，如患者 医院识别码。灵活的六级信息 提出了一种高级查询应答的处理体系结构 功能。该项目的核心是三级面向对象的数据 模型来捕捉医学文档和图像的语义内容。 该数据模型将纳入国家医学图书馆的统一 医学语言系统(UMLS)、医学语义网络和元主题词库。 强大的计算机辅助软件工程(CASE)工具用于 执行图形数据建模和快速代码开发 整合遗留医疗信息系统。试验台系统用于 将发展胸科和神经放射学，以证明临床 系统的效用。一种高度图形化的多媒体查询语言是 作为系统的用户界面介绍。

The objective of this proposal is to develop a medical information processing system that can perform the following: (1) provide transparent and easy access to the complete electronic patient record, and (2) retrieve medical documents and images based on information content (e.g., pathology, radiology finding) rather than artificial keys such as patient hospital identification number. A flexible six-level information processing architecture is proposed to perform high-level query answering functions. Central to the project is a three-level object-oriented data model to capture the semantic contents of medical documents and images. The data model will incorporate the National Library of Medicine's Unified Medical Language System (UMLS) Medical Semantic Network and Metathesaurus. Powerful computer-aided software engineering (CASE) tools are used to perform graphical data modeling and rapid code development for the integration of legacy medical information systems. Testbed systems for thoracic and neuroradiology will be developed to demonstrate the clinical utility of the system. A highly graphical multimedia query language is introduced as the system's user interface.
