Abstract

Introduction. The essay at hand is aimed at examining the application of use case modeling in analyzing and designing information systems to support Medical Imaging services. Methods. The application of use case modeling in analyzing and designing health information systems was examined using electronic databases (Pubmed, Google scholar) resources and the characteristics of the modeling system and its effect on the development and design of the health information systems were analyzed. Results. Analyzing the subject indicated that Provident modeling of health information systems should provide for quick access to many health data resources in a way that patients' data can be used in order to expand distant services and comprehensive Medical Imaging advices. Also these experiences show that progress in the infrastructure development stages through gradual and repeated evolution process of user requirements is stronger and this can lead to a decline in the cycle of requirements engineering process in the design of Medical Imaging information systems. Conclusion. Use case modeling approach can be effective in directing the problems of health and Medical Imaging information systems towards understanding, focusing on the start and analysis, better planning, repetition, and control.

Highlights

The essay at hand is aimed at examining the application of use case modeling in analyzing and designing information systems to support Medical Imaging services
The researcher and his colleagues offer practical actions in another essay so that the critical-qualitative method and the details of different issues are considered in Unified Modeling Language (UML) shortages especially regarding use case models and system analysis
For the medical imaging information systems in which staff select and add the information to the files, clinical data direction must be modeled in a particular case to filter and present suitable information to the medical imaging expert

Summary

Introduction

In order to get to know the symbols used in this system, its syntactic structure has been defined, according to Unified Modeling Language (UML) version 1.5 [1, 2, 11] In this concept a system is considered as a close frame of behavior and the user cases are expected to be pattern-oriented and contextual while remaining stable during the lifespan of the information system in the semistructured form. The elements of this table model the interactions of external users and system and display the behavioral aspects of the system [11]. Another advantage of the systematic approach based on use case modeling is that the implementation stages can be distinguished from the generation stages [2]
