Simple tailored microcomputer system for the obstetrical ultrasound laboratory.

As more sophisticated ultrasound instrumentation has become available, more complete and detailed examinations, including computer-manipulated data sheets, have been demanded by referring clinicians. In order to fill the clinical need, many suppliers have designed and promoted computer systems of unfortunately prohibitive costs. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate the simplicity of designing a personally tailored data sheet and ease of programming one of the current commercially available microcomputers to perform the manipulations. Their use is outlined and encouraged.
