Abstract

A long-term documentation is presented which serves different quality-control mechanisms in computer tomography (CT) reporting. Developed by co-operation between different departments of the Hannover Medical School it has been based on 1000 CT reports and the experiences gained from them. The modular straightforward design makes the system applicable for routine documentation as well as for scientific investigations. It allows easy statistical analysis of the data gathered and can be used as a differentiated master file for special investigations, for example pattern-recognition procedures on the original data matrices. With regard to medical audit it allows the patients who really need it, access to the limited CT capacity.

Une documentation qui a été établie sur une longue période, permet de contrôler la qualité des comptes-rendus de tomodensitométrie. Cette documentation été élaborée à partir de 1 000 dossiers médicaux et graˇce à la collaboration de plusieurs départements de la Faculté de Médicine de Hanovre. Sa conception modulaire la rend utilisable aussi bien pour les examens de routine que pour des travaux scientifiques. Elle permet les analyses statistiques et peut ětre utilisée en tant que fichier maiˇtre pour des procédures spéciales telles que la reconnaissance de formes. Vue sous un angle d'audit médical, elle permet aux patients, pour lesquels cette exploration est indispensable, d'avoir acces aux capacités limitées des tomodensitomètres.
