[A useful tool for routine radiological examinations : the iPhone application "KM Helper"]
Abstract
Since Apple's iPhone revolutionized the smartphone market, numerous software application features (apps) for portable devices have been developed. Amongst many others, a broad range of medical assistance software, such as anatomic books or medical encyclopedias is now available. We developed an app which helps to identify patients who need medical treatment before intravenous or intra-arterial administration of iodinated contrast media. The purpose of this article is to show that novel techniques such as smartphone applications can be a useful tool in medicine.
