What means "CASIM@GE"?
The word "CASIM@GE" is the fusion of words "Case" and "Images". The "@" letter symbolize internet. Project "CASIM@GE" is an institutional project (No: 97755) of Geneva University Hospital (HUG, http://www.hcuge.ch/). It is developed in the Digital Imaging Unit (UIN, http://www.expasy.ch/UIN/).
The goal of this project is to help the development of digital "teaching files" databases. A database is a collection of imagery cases. Each case contains several images of any modalities and a textual description. This "teaching files" database is an extension of our PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System). This project provides a digital solution to manage and create these imagery teaching files: image browser, query system, editing software, ... This software is useful to any medical departments that produce images. A digital database offers many advantages over a "classic" teaching files collection: cost, duplication, transport, single-step process, web-access, ...
A lot of users (students, physicians, ...) are using this database. So, it was particularly important that the Graphic User Interface (GUI) is clear and fast. Browsing and searching have to be easy and image transfer from our PACS to the CASIM@GE database need to be a single-step process. This GUI is common to all platforms (MacOS, Windows, Internet/Intranet). Here is a preview of this GUI:
Database structure A general structure has been designed on the following idea: the CASIM@GE database is used by many users. There are many users. Each user is interested to manage one or more collections (personal, official, for teaching, for research, ...). All these collections contain one or more cases with one text description and many images. This database is a relational database. 4 tables are defined: users, collections, cases and images. Each table are linked together with a ONE-TO-MANY relation.
