A computer in the practice.

Abstract

It is possible to buy a computer system, a printer and business application programs, all well designed for use in any office, for about 700 pounds. This brings computerisation within the reach of the smallest practice. In the last of his articles on practice management, Michael Wilkinson outlines how business systems can help in practice and provides a guide to the purchase of systems which can be upgraded to use specialized dental programs.

User-friendly and low-cost computer system for immediate review, analysis, and reconstruction of intracoronary ultrasound images.

We describe a low-cost method that offers all these necessary features. The proposed method uses the QuickTime compatible video digitizers of standard multimedia Apple Macintosh or PowerPC desktop computers and the freeware software Object Image 1.60.
