Some applications for a personal computer data-base system in radiology.

Applications for a personal-computer-based relational data-base system in an academic radiologist's office are described. These include archival and flexible retrieval of desired cases from clinical-case and teaching-file data bases and data-base management of a transparency-slide collection and radiology journal articles. All applications were implemented by using commercially available software that was specially adapted for each purpose. These data-base systems have been effective organizing tools over the past 4 years.
