RADCOM: a computerized translation device for use during fluoroscopic examination of non-English-speaking patients

MJ Cohn and AJ Cohen
Department of Radiological Sciences, University of California, Irvine Medical Center, Orange 92668-3298.

We developed and have implemented RADCOM (RADiology COMmunicator), a computerized speech-based language translator for use during fluoroscopic examination of non-English-speaking patients. It is controlled completely by voice commands issued into a headset microphone. The system output is digital audio via a small speaker, in the native language of the patient. RADCOM currently supports more than 40 commands in more than a dozen languages. The language data base is easily expandable. We have performed more than 20 fluoroscopic examinations with the RADCOM system. The non-English-speaking patients respond well, following the selected instructions appropriately.
