  • Title: [Graphic assessment of retinal findings by computer].
    Author: Effert R, Wilberts T, Reim M.
    Journal: Fortschr Ophthalmol; 1989; 86(6):611-3. PubMed ID: 2625289.
    Abstract:
    Despite the increasing amount of patient data in the area of words and numbers that is being stored by computer, the graphic storage of ophthalmological findings has found only limited success. However, a sketch is much more instructive than a description in words. This paper shows that by using a suitable computer with a graphic oriented disc-operating system and a purchasable graphic and data base program, it is easily possible to generate sketches of retinal detachment on a computer screen. In the graphic program, all of the necessary symbols are already available when the program is started. The user just makes a copy of the symbols he needs to "draw" the actual fundus findings. We use the system of Meyer-Schwickerath. Afterwards, the drawing on the monitor is transferred into the data base program and stored.
