In this review computer applications in medicine are discussed from the point of view of the levels of information processing as suggested by van Bemmel. Applications are presented and research directions indicated. The purpose of this review article is to give an overview of the field of medical informatics. A structural approach is followed in discussing the subjects of communication, databases, complex calculations (including signal analysis and image analysis techniques), pattern recognition and expert systems. The role the computer system plays in relation to the physician is discussed. It is stressed that computers cannot replace the physician, because computer systems use programs, that are of a scientific nature. This means that only certain aspects are taken into account and that one abstracts from individuality. Therefore, computers are unable to give advice about individual patients regarding their future.
在本综述中，按照范·贝梅尔所提出的信息处理层次观点，对医学中的计算机应用进行了讨论。展示了应用实例并指出了研究方向。这篇综述文章的目的是对医学信息学领域进行概述。在讨论通信、数据库、复杂计算（包括信号分析和图像分析技术）、模式识别和专家系统等主题时采用了一种结构化方法。探讨了计算机系统相对于医生所起的作用。强调计算机不能取代医生，因为计算机系统使用的程序具有科学性质。这意味着只考虑了某些方面，并且忽略了个体差异。因此，计算机无法就个体患者的未来给出建议。
