Abstract :
Use of rotational models play an important role in implementing time-oriented medical records (TOMR) management systems. The authors describe the first steps in implementing TOMR with object-oriented methods and instruments. They focus attention on needs of data and image integration in a haemodynamic lab where PTCA (percutaneous transluminal coronary artery angioplasty) patients are dealt with. The features of object-oriented database management systems are discussed. The design considerations and system description are outlined
