Abstract


We have created the multimodal database of images and videos from of various clinical cases. The findings comprise common as well as rare pathologies. This collection marked as CARDIO3® for cardiology and ENDO3® for endoscopy is the data source for our educational mobile/tablet applications/atlases covering the field of echocardiography, interventional cardiology, electrophysiology, magnetic resonance and gastrointestinal endoscopy. The records saved in SQL database have ID, title, annotation, modality, image plane, physician identification columns. Structured data are stored in XML format. Each picture or video is assigned to the appropriate keywords describing the presented pathology. The apps serve as reference tool for teaching cardiology, radiology, cardiac surgery, internal medicine, ultrasound, endoscopy fellows and medical students on the fly. The apps require internet connection to download the texts, the images and videos. Given that the images are online, the collection is not static. The database of findings from our server is regularly updated and extended. The apps are available on the iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch and Android devices. The authors of the cases and charts comprise clinical cardiologists and internal fellows.
