The value of administrative support computers in radiology departments has been evident, particularly in the United States, for more than a decade. It is difficult to understand why so little interest appears to have developed in this country; it is, perhaps, our inherent conservatism. The advent of the inexpensive microprocessor with a wide range of program packages has set the scene for an expansion of the use of computing in a wide range of clerical tasks. This article sets out to describe the various applications which we have demonstrated to be particularly suitable for incorporation into a computer system and suggests a number of additional applications which may be appropriate to particular radiology departments.
行政支持计算机在放射科的价值已十分明显，尤其在美国，这一情况已持续了十多年。很难理解为何在这个国家对此的兴趣如此之少；这或许是我们固有的保守主义所致。价格低廉且具备广泛程序包的微处理器的出现，为在各类文书工作中扩大计算机的使用创造了条件。本文旨在描述我们已证明特别适合纳入计算机系统的各种应用，并提出一些可能适用于特定放射科的其他应用。
