Anatomically flexible, computer-assisted reporting system for coronary angiography. 1982

E L Alderman, and K K Hamilton, and J Silverman, and D C Harrison, and W J Sanders

A computer-assisted method for reporting coronary arteriographic findings has been developed. A videographic display with a touch input system permits finger pointing to designate arterial segments, lesion locations, graft insertion points and collateral vessels. The coronary diagram is flexible to accommodate variations in dominance and in the size and length of the left coronary system branches. Lesion severity, type and length of lesions, distal vessel anatomy, collateral circulation and coronary bypass grafts (including Y or jump grafts) are displayed pictographically. A tabular summary and graphic output provide a completed coronary report eliminating the need for narrative dictation. An edit mode provides capability for teaching and review. The computer-assisted reporting method has the advantage of automatic data encoding in formats suitable for data base storage and subsequent retrieval.
