RadLine® on CD-ROM
Literature Reference for Radiology

Overview
The RadLine literature reference service offers you easy, economical and rapid access to the biomedical journal literature most frequently used by radiologists.

The literature references are stored on CD-ROM optical data discs. Computer search software designed for Microsoft® Windows^TM and Apple® Macintosh® lets you search these discs easily and quickly.

Each data disc contains journal article references, many with abstracts, selected from the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) MEDLINE® database.

The radiologic topic content of RadLine was developed in cooperation with the Department of Radiology at the University of California, San Francisco.

Searching Software
Finding the references you want is as easy as just typing the few words that you think best characterize the article. Knowledge Finder's unique fuzzy logic searching uses precise mathematical analysis to judge how closely each database entry appears to match your search query. Search results are presented in order of likely relevance, showing you the closest matches first, and saving you time reviewing search results.

For precise searching, just click a button to activate Knowledge Finder's Boolean Search mode. With the additional Boolean operators, nested parenthesization and truncation, you can fine tune your search to identify the specific article for which you're looking.

The MeSH® subject heading thesaurus helps you identify the correct terminology for searching the database. Article citations (most of which include informative abstracts) are shown rapidly and clearly on the computer screen. With Knowledge Finder, you don't have to take the time to become an expert searcher. In fact, most users discover that they're searching successfully within a few minutes of their first use of Knowledge Finder.
