Abstract

Radiological and related services have been augmented by several “computer technology driven” diagnostic imaging tools, such as X-ray Computer Tomography, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance and Digital Subtraction Radiography etc. With PACS, these services will experience a further computer technology driven change in the management and archiving of images.

More fundamental changes in the working profile of radiologists and related medical disciplines, however, will come with the introduction of graphic oriented Medical Work Stations (MWSs). The user requirement space for such MWSs allows for the specification of a multitude of different types of work stations for diagnostic, therapeutic and teaching purposes.

The computer science disciplines applicable for the realisation of these work stations are described. As a paper discussing concepts, emphasis will be given to a general systems approach.
