Using LaTeX to produce multi-media clinical reports
Fabien Leboeuf
Abstract: In this article we demonstrate the LaTeX techniques used to produce high-quality technical reports with multimedia features.
At our hospital, the analysis of biomechanical data is done by a multi-disciplinary team and involves a large amount of inter-related information in a variety of electronic formats. Therefore, it is essential that there be a user-friendly interface to present this data to the team for analysis.
In this context, LaTeX was used to create a comprehensive report, with all text, graphics, and video contained in a single PDF file. We have been using LaTeX to produce this report since 2006, and have received positive feedback from the hospital staff.
