title: Multimedia cardiac catheterization record document system.
abstract: In this paper, we present the design and implementation of a multimedia cardiac catheterization record (CCR) system. A traditional CCR contains medical report, electrocardiograms, X-ray images, and possibly video sequences for angiograms. The physicians found it difficult to access and manage these multimedia information easily. Current advances in multimedia technology has made possible the authoring, storage and presentation of these medical information in a systematic and easily-accessible way. This paper discusses the background and rationale that led to the design and implementation of a cost-effective multimedia medical document system framework and prototype.
