[Application of the JJ1017 code to master-table of RIS database].
We are developing an open-type Radiology Information System (RIS) under the project name KPECK. Part of the RIS has already been employed in Kouri Hospital of Kansai Medical University. The RIS is based on a database of the history of clinical study and exposure. We tried using the JJ1017 (ver1.0) code for the master-table of the database. The JJ1017 code, which is standardized by JIRA and JAHIS, is used in communicating information between the RIS and medical modalities. Through construction of the database, we found a technique by which the JJ1017 code could be applied to its master-table. In coordinating the JJ1017 code with the master-table of the database, we extended various study codes and systematically coordinated them with the architecture of the database.
