title: Radiologic staging of lung carcinoma: a report generator and database system.
abstract: A checklist used by the radiologist interpreting images on lung carcinoma patients for tumor staging is described. The checklist data is subsequently entered into a user friendly microcomputer program which radiologically stages lung carcinoma according to the updated TNM system, maintains an upgradable relational database and generates printed reports for tumor board meetings.
