COMPUTER BASED MULTIMEDIA MEDICAL DATABASE MANAGEMENT SYSTEM AND USER INTERFACE

摘要

A computer database for medical imaging (22 and 26) stores and manipulates multimedia data (33) from various sources and reduces misidentification of data. A unique identifier (404) is generated and linked (409) to each data object, preferably at the time the image is generated. A graphical representation of the identifier is incorporated into the image or text (400B) when displayed or printed. A detector may read the representation, allowing the identifier to be read and identify the data.
