摘要
The current resurgence in the use of nomograms as diagnostic and prognostic tools has legitimate roots in their effectiveness in facilitating communication between the doctor and patient. By returning to a more classical approach to nomography, graphical insights can further enlighten the patient beyond what can be achieved with current methods, while at the same time simplifying the process. We propose a going-forward extension that addresses the issue of further use of computing technology to continue to enhance understanding. © 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
