✦ Synopsis

For 2 years the system of recording radiologic examinations connected with the computer called SYBAR has been in operation. The examination methods are coded using the Index of Roentgen Examinations of the Swedish National Medical Board (1970), while the diagnoses are coded according to [4]. The positive experience accumulated so far prompted the authors to project and put in operation the system NEURO-SYBAR in order to organize a bank of data of neuroradiologic examinations. This system required the widening of two anatomic fields, 'skull and contents' and 'spine and contents,' according to the 'Index for Roentgen Diagnoses' of the American College of Radiology [1 ]. The NEURO-SYBAR system was adopted by ten radiologic departments in the country. The complete neuroradiologic data from these departments were collected in one computer center in Lodz.
