This paper deals with the results obtained with a computerized senology system developed at the Institute of Radiology of "La Sapienza" University in Rome. The system combines a hypermedia program with a multimedia didactic archive integrated with the radiologic information system. These programs have been developed on Macintosh computers: the hypermedia one on a Macintosh IIfx with 160-Mb hard disk and 8-Mb RAM and a Supercard software, the multimedia archive on Macintosh IIvx, IIvi and Quadra 650 units, connected with an Ethernet network to a server Quadra 950 (RAM: 20 Megabytes; optical disk: 1 Giga) and using the 4th Dimension as software. The basics of breast anatomy, radiologic semiology and breast diseases are illustrated with the hypermedia program: such a system has many advantages to teach the basics requiring just a process of learning by heart. The multimedia archive allows to classify a large number of difficult and uncommon clinical cases, according to the ACR code. Thus, it is useful also to teachers to study particular subjects, including anatomical variants and uncommon conditions. In conclusion, we believe these systems to be valuable tools in the formation and update of the physicians devoted to the study of breast diseases.
本文介绍了罗马“萨皮恩扎”大学放射学研究所开发的计算机化乳腺学系统所取得的成果。该系统将一个超媒体程序与一个集成在放射学信息系统中的多媒体教学档案库相结合。这些程序是在苹果麦金塔电脑上开发的：超媒体程序运行在配备160兆硬盘和8兆随机存取存储器的苹果麦金塔IIfx电脑上，并使用Supercard软件；多媒体档案库运行在苹果麦金塔IIvx、IIvi和Quadra 650电脑上，通过以太网与一台Quadra 950服务器（随机存取存储器：20兆字节；光盘：1千兆字节）相连，并使用第四维度软件。超媒体程序展示了乳腺解剖学、放射学符号学和乳腺疾病的基础知识：这样一个系统在教授基础知识方面有很多优势，只需要记忆学习过程。多媒体档案库允许根据美国放射学会（ACR）代码对大量疑难和罕见临床病例进行分类。因此，它对教师研究特定主题，包括解剖变异和罕见病症也很有用。总之，我们认为这些系统是致力于乳腺疾病研究的医生培训和知识更新的宝贵工具。
