Abstract

A radiograph report is usually made from an oral dictation by a radiologist, which is then typed. Typing Japanese is rather inconvenient and consumes many hours. In this paper we introduce a computer-assisted reporting system for radiologic images using speech recognition. The hardware of the reporting system consists of a speech recognizer DP-200(NEC) and a personal computer PC-8801 or PC-9801. The DP-200 has the capability of storing 500 different words spoken by a radiologist. At present, three application programs have been designed. These are for the interpretation of a liver scintigram, a bone scintigram and a chest radiograph. Data entry is done by the radiologist at a CRT display terminal in a conversational manner with predefined and predetermined branching. The time required to make a normal report using the liver or bone scintigram system was within one minute. The reporting time was several minutes in the case of an abnormality report. It is suggested that the system is useful for making an imaging report, for constructing the data base for the interpretation of medical images and for the picture archiving and communication system.

[Rickets due to vitamin D deficiency--a reminder].

Vitamin D deficiency, because of prophylactic supplementation, has become a rare disorder in Switzerland and therefore is usually not considered in the clinical routine. In the few cases we could diagnose, the affected children either have been of East-Mediterranean origin with insufficient nutrition and vitamin supplementation, or were raised in families who, for philosophical or other reasons, refuse any "non-biological" measure including vitamin supplementation. For the orthopedic surgeon the challenging task is to screen out of the many children presented with physiologic gait "disturbance", bow-legs or flat feet the few children with true disorders. An important point is the history of vitamin D prophylaxis; in selected cases X-ray and laboratory findings are indicated. Finally the response to the treatment with vitamin D will confirm the diagnosis of rickets due to vitamin D deficiency.

Spondylometaphyseal dysplasia, Sedaghatian type.

In 1980 Sedaghatian described an Iranian infant who died shortly after birth. At autopsy, he was found to have subacute myocarditis, cortical necrosis of kidneys, and adrenal and pulmonary hemorrhage. His skeletal abnormalities included mild rhizomelic shortness of his limbs and platyspondylyl and "laciness" of the iliac wings. In 1987 Optiz et al. described another Iranian infant with a similar perinatal course and roentgenograms. This infant was born to first cousins, suggesting an autosomal recessive single gene defect. We report our findings of another infant with a lethal course.
