Abstract :
Object-oriented technology has long been advocated as a better way to construct complicated large-scale software projects. We have adopted such a methodology in our design of radiology workstations. In retrospect, it proved to be advantageous in at least four aspects: (1) system modeling and the software development process, (2) system operation and management, (3) multimedia information representation, and (4) interoperability within a heterogeneous computing environment
