    i i i i School Subject Informatics (Computer Science) in Russia: Educational Relevant Areas EVGENIY KHENNER and IGOR SEMAKIN, Perm State National Research University, Russia This article deals with some aspects of studying Informatics in Russian schools. Those aspects are part of the ‘third dimension’ of the Darmstadt model (they are also projected on the other two dimensions of this model) and include evolution of the subject, regulatory norms conforming to the Federal Educational Standards, the learning objectives, the required learning outcomes, and the Unified National Examination in Informatics, which is required for admission to a number of university programs. It is interesting to note that correspondence between requirements for the outcomes of learning Informatics in Russian school and the requirements of K-12 Computer Science Standards (USA) is quite satisfactory. It is noteworthy that the relatively high level of school education in Informatics in Russia is determined by the well-established methodological system with a 30-year history, the subject’s being on the list of core disciplines at school, as well as the existence of a state-sponsored system of education teachers of Informatics.

These three tools are intuitive to most radiologists as they replicate familiar paper and film workflow. So what is next? The next generation of applications will be built with moving parts that work together to satisfy advanced use cases without replicating databases and without requiring fragile, intense synchronization from clinical systems. We provide blueprints for addressing common clinical, educational, and research related problems. This paper is the result of identifying common components in the construction of over two dozen clinical informatics projects developed at the University of Maryland Radiology Informatics Research Laboratory. The systems outlined are intended as a strong foundation rather than an exhaustive list of possible extensions. Background Software reuse is a philosophy that makes stored information more accessible and flexible, facilitating creation of novel uses of existing data. Before examining software reuse within healthcare, we present online-travel an example of the higher-level integration that we strive toward.

  • Imaging and Structural Informatics
    9 Imaging and Structural Informatics JAMES F. B RINKLEY AND ROBERT A. GREENES 9.1 Introduction As is evident to anyone who has had an X-ray, a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) exam, or a biopsy, images play a central role in the health care process. In addition, images play important roles in medical communication and education, as well as in research. In fact much of our recent progress, particularly in diagnosis, can be traced to the availability of increasingly sophisticated images that not only show the structure of the body in incredible detail but also show the function. Although there are many imaging modalities, images of all types are increasingly being converted to or initially acquired in digital form. This form is more or less the same across all imaging modalities. It is therefore amenable to common image-processing methodologies for enhancement, analysis, display, and storage. Because of the ubiquity of images in biomedicine, the increasing availability of images in digital form, the rise of high-powered computer hardware and networks, and the commonality of image-processing solutions, digital images have become a core data type that must be considered in many biomedical informatics applications. Therefore, this chapter is devoted to a basic understanding of this core data type and many of the image-processing operations that can be applied to it. Chapter 18, on the other hand, describes the integration of images and image processing in various applications, particularly those in radiology since radiology places the greatest demands on imaging methods. The topics covered by this chapter and Chapter 18 are generally part of biomedical imaging informatics (Kulikowski, 1997), a subfield of biomedical informatics that has arisen in recognition of the common issues that pertain to all image modalities and applications once the images are converted to digital form.
