MIDS--the Medical Illustration Data System.
MIDS was conceived and written in 1985 since when it has evolved into a comprehensive database management system for medical illustration departments. Around 25 departments in the UK and abroad now use the system to control the day-to-day running and management of the work records and statistics. This brief article describes the genesis and evolution of the system.
