At our E. N. T. Clinic in Keio University Hospital, a visual observation is regarded as an especially important factor in making a diagnosis. An observation is made by enlarging the vocal fold image on a CTR using a laryngoscope. It is essential that an examination should not only be performed but that the acquired results be utilized both effectively and efficiently. To this end, all the examination results are recorded on a VTR and at the same time input in the form of digital video records into our personal computer. The computer used is widely used type and our own application software is developed for operating. The method is as follows : # 1 Register the patient's data to be used as a data base. # 2 Label each VTR of patient's data. # 3 Search the patient's past data and display the visual Image. # 4 Search the patient's past data as it progresses over time, and display the visual image. # 5 Analyze the results of stroboscopic imaging using fuzzy logic. # 6 Display a demonstration video of laryngeal disorders. # 7 Perform a phonetic screening test using fuzzy logic. This method proves to be useful in making a diagnosis with regard to progress over time. It is also quite useful in informing patients and teaching students. Our report is an example of applying personal computers in medical treatment.
