Abstract :
Describes the development of a multimedia editor for radiology which allows one to load, store and work with radiological reports. These reports conform to the DICOM standard by using the `structured reporting´ supplement of DICOM. The user interface of the editor is implemented in Java. A DICOM toolkit is used to implement the structure of the reports. The toolkit is implemented in the programming languages C and C++ and can be compiled on the operating systems Linux, Windows NT/9x and Solaris. The programming languages used for the implementation of the user interface and for the construction of DICOM-conforming reports are connected via the Java Native Interface (JNI). The possibility to record spoken language or noises, to visualize DICOM images and to edit natural text is also provided
