[Electronic picture and data storage and processing with PC in trauma surgery--an anachronism?].
Acquisition, storage and processing of any images relevant in trauma surgery together or in combination with (alpha) numeric data nowadays are possible employing a personal computer. The computing speed that is achieved with 486 cpu's "inside" is sufficient to process images in motion as well as single images to be filtered. The display and process-resolutions required for processing of X-ray-images can be achieved with the PC's hardware as well as with the software available. That is why there is no need any longer for special configurations for X-ray-departments. Calculating the price of the process-environment proposed, about 25,000 DM should be enough including the video tape recorders and the CD-ROM-recorder that are required.
