In recent years, due to the advanced computerization of medical institutions, systems such as radiology information system (RIS) and reporting have been used extensively also at radiology departments. However, the introduction of these systems will need a great amount of money, and the systems are not yet introduced in our hospital. On the contrary, thanks to the sophistication and price reduction of personal computers (PCs), there is now found a rapid expansion of end user computing (EUC) in which users of a system actively build and manage the system of their duties. Under these circumstances, in order to assist the duties at low costs, we worked the computerization of duties done at our Radiology Department by using the EUC. Specifically, we used software of general-purpose database to build the system with functions dealing with records on implementing medical examinations and treatments, examination booking and diagnostic imaging report. This system which has been developed according to details of conventional duties and requests from medical personnel makes it possible to alleviate the duties which were done manually.
