[The Quick Return Service of electroencephalogram].
Because electroencephalography (EEG) examinations take time and numerous channels are used, they generate an enormous volume of data. Vast amounts of space would be required to store the data on shelves and in storage rooms, and a great deal of time and labor would be needed to retrieve the data and use it again. We developed an EEG optical disk filing system to solve such problems. With this system display terminals are set up in the various outpatient departments which often request EEG examinations, i.e., the neurology department, psychiatry department, and pediatric department, making it possible to search and display EEG waveforms, the content of EEG reports, etc., stored on the optical disks at any time. Using such functions patients can be examined without having to send for charts and EEG paper-output waveforms, which is troublesome and time-consuming, and contributes to shortening examination time.
