Interaktief raadplegen en formaliseren van kennis (toegepast op de ovarium pathologie)
The first part of the research, described in this thesis, concerns the second limitation. The question was addressed whether it is feasible to increase the quality and efficiency of the diagnostic process in pathology by offering an interactive consultation system for routine use. Such a system should consist of extensive diagnostic information, integrated with a large amount of illustrated patient cases. To that end the so-called Diagnostic Encyclopedia Workstation (DEW) has been developed which is described in Chapter 2. At present, the DEW contains 85 ovarian diagnoses, illustrated by 3,000 pictures, which was sufficiently large to allow for evaluation of the prototype. The system runs on an IBM-compatible PC connected to a videodisc player. The information is accessed via a self-explicable mouse-driven user interface.
