摘要:
A system and method to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a radiologist. A display protocol for medical imaging equipment may allow a plurality of three-dimensional medical images to be concurrently displayed and navigated. The three-dimensional medical images may be linked so a user can manipulate the viewing angle and pointer in the linked images. The display protocol can be configured to display a three-dimensional image from a current exam and a three-dimensional comparison image. Moreover, a display protocol for medical imaging equipment may allow at least one three-dimensional medical image to be concurrently displayed with at least one two-dimensional medical image. The three-dimensional medical image may be linked with the two-dimensional medical image so a user can manipulate the viewing angle and pointer in the linked images. The display protocol can be configured to display a three-dimensional image with axial, sagital, coronal, or non-standard oblique views.

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for displaying images using a plurality of perspectives within a hanging protocol. Certain embodiments include loading a hanging protocol for display of an image study, selecting a perspective within the hanging protocol for display of the image study, and displaying the image study based on a display configuration within the selected perspective. In certain embodiments, the perspective is selected from a plurality of perspectives, including a default perspective, within the hanging protocol. In certain embodiments, selection of the perspective comprises selection of a perspective based on modality, anatomy, procedure, and/or default view, for example. In certain embodiments, a perspective may be automatically within the hanging protocol for display of the image study. In certain embodiments, a user may be allowed to switch perspectives during display of the image study.

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an improved medical imaging and information management system and method with conferencing and control capability. Certain embodiments of the system include an initiator workstation capable of remotely controlling functionality at a slave workstation and a slave workstation including functionality capable of control by the initiator workstation. The initiator workstation is capable of remotely configuring a display protocol of said slave workstation to share diagnostic quality images. In an embodiment, the system includes a picture archiving and communication system (PACS), with first and second PACS workstations as the initiator and slave workstations, for example. In an embodiment, the initiator controls all functionality at the slave. In an embodiment, the initiator controls selected functions at the slave. The initiator workstation may display at least one diagnostic quality image on a display at said slave workstation independent of image quality of said display, for example.

Certain embodiments relate to providing automated, custom displays of images and tools for manipulating the images. Certain embodiments include a method for providing an automated user interface for healthcare workers. Certain embodiments of the method employ a network to execute the steps of retrieving an image from an image archive, processing the image to generate image-specific information, identifying data related to the image, mining the data related to the image, and displaying the image along with a custom selection of user interface tools.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for a system for viewing medical images including a set of image slices, a selected image, an overview image, and a user interface component. The selected image is selected from the set of image slices. The overview image includes a representation of the set of image slices. The user interface component is capable of simultaneously displaying the selected image and the overview image.

Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for clinical review of a patient comprising: a plurality medical studies relating to a medical history of the patient, each of said plurality of medical studies comprising a representation; a user interface for permitting a user to interact with said representations; a chronology of said representations displayable through said user interface, wherein each of said representations is selectable by said user to form a selected chronological medical study; and a plurality of relevant representations displayable through said user interface, said plurality of relevant representations automatically generated based at least in part on said selected chronological medical study and at least one relevance criterion, wherein each of said plurality of relevant representations is selectable to form a selected relevant medical study. In an embodiment, the system further comprises at least one thumbnail image displayed in said user interface, said at least one thumbnail image corresponding to a series of images in said selected relevant medical study, wherein said at least one thumbnail image is selectable to display said series of images in said selected relevant medical study.
摘要:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for determine a level of significance of an image. Certain embodiments include selecting one or more parameters for use in determining a level of significance for an image, assigning a value to each of the one or more parameters, and determining the level of significance for the image based on the parameters and the values associated with each of the one or more parameters. One or more parameters may be weighted to affect determination of the level of significance. An offset may be added to the determination of the level of significance for the image. Parameters may include clinical relevance, diagnosis pattern, segmented area, number of pixels, and/or reading time for the image, for example.
摘要:
Certain embodiments present a system for generating a medical teaching file message. An image identifier labels medical images based upon information pertaining to user interaction with the image. The system also provides an image search engine that scans and indexes images within a database based on a set of rules. The image search engine generates a subset of images from a larger group of medical images within a database based upon the rules. The system also includes a supporting data selection engine for accepting a free text search query from an interface. The supporting data selection engine scans medical databases based on the free text search query, and provides the supporting data search results via an interface. A teaching file message is generated either automatically or manually from the subset of images and the supporting data search results for transmission to a teaching file.
