The approach is developed, based on actual clinical experience in three European hospitals and tested in these environments. The approach departs from a thorough analysis of the working procedures and information flows before implementation, both descriptive and quantitative. On the basis of this analysis, quantitative (and hence testable) objectives of the implementation are defined. The implementation strategy is defined after comparison of various scenarios, taking costs and effects for both the final and the transition phases into account. The approach is supported by a comprehensive evaluation protocol and a software package (PACER). The approach is demonstrated in this paper by applying it on a hypothetical PACS implementation for CT, ultrasound and for the part of the radiology department serving ICU. The objectives of this PACS are:</p><ul><li><span>(1)</span><span><p>— to shorten the turn around time between the radiology department and ICU from 4 h to 30 min</p></span></li><li><span>(2)</span><span><p>— to save 2000 m² of film per year and</p></span></li><li><span>(3)</span><span><p>— to save personnel time.</p></span></li></ul><p>In this case the PACS is introduced in three phases and completed after three years.

For the recognition process, some preprocessing phases after recording are necessary, such as filtering and often also segmentation. In the following, we will explore segmentation, which can be used in preprocessing of biomedical signals after filtering. We studied linear segmentation, where slopes of short signal segments are computed and divided into different classes according to their values. A segment length of 8 samples for a sampling frequency of 50 kHz employed was best according to our tests and error criteria. Using clustering, we found that less than 10 segment classes is suitable for pattern recognition.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":75935,"journal":{"name":"International journal of bio-medical computing","volume":"43 3","pages":"Pages 215-226"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1996-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/S0020-7101(96)01212-3","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"19989802","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The qEEG ranging from 1 to 30 Hz, at 1 Hz increments (30 input features) and also as slow, medium and fast activity (represented by three ranges of frequencies at the input) were used. After training with depressed and control qEEG only, the MLP has been found to distinguish successfully between the normal and the depressed rats in more than 80% of the cases, identifying, in the process, most of the exercised groups' EEG as normal.
