Abstract
A computerized brain database management system is designed and implemented to replace the existing traditional largely hand-recorded system in the radiological department of selected hospitals in Malaysia. The new system provides easy access to patient registration, diagnosis, and appointment. It can also collect, calculate and plot statistical data. Thus, it is a useful research tool. The system is applied to identify nonmodifiable risks and analyze modifiable risks in brain infarction patients. The new system has higher efficiency in terms of time taken, cost and data security protection while comparing to the traditional hand-recorded system.
