- 如何判断电脑是否正在运行32位版本还是64位版本的Windows操作系统(链接到微软的网站)。
- MedCalc 12不能工作在Windows 2000或更早版本的Windows上。Windows 2000已经达到其生命周期结束的2010年7月13日。它不再接收新的安全更新和新的安全相关的修补程序。因此，这是强烈建议更新到较新版本的Windows。
- 文件的兼容性：这个新版本的MedCalc可以打开和读取任何旧版本MedCalc创建的文件。新版本创建的文件(新文件或保存的文件)不能被旧版本的软件读取。
- 改进亚洲语言的支持。
- 按字母顺序列出变量：选择此选项时，变量在变量选择框中是按字母顺序列出。当这个选项没有被选中，按变量在电子表格中输入的顺序列出。此选项不影响在电子表格中的变量的顺序。

- 如果样本大小是已知的，增加在预测值计算器中对于正或负的预测值的精确二项置信区间的计算。
