Abstract
Abstract A laser beam records a digital representation of a medical picture and medical information on an optical data storage strip. The strip is adhered to a medium containing an eye readable picture generated from the same data, such as X-ray pictures, CAT-scan pictures, ultrasonic or NMR images. The medical information may be the image itself, a description or diagnosis related to the picture.
