Abstract: Systems, apparatus, and computer methods are provided for controlling access to advanced medical diagnostic imaging applications based on the login credential of a user and the access policy for that user. All users are categorized based on training, authorization, and status with an identified project. The advanced medical diagnostic imaging applications are configured based on the retrieved access policy for the user.

Abstract: An intranet online dissemination system that facilitates real time automated communication of event information to a particular user's profile. The system comprises a communication medium including a host interface for creating, categorizing, and timing the event's information. A digital repository is provided for storing the event information. Additionally, a processing module is coupled to the repository and the host interface for queuing and disseminating the event information to a user interface. An information module is provided for identifying a user and a user's profile to the system at the user interface. The processing module selectively communicates the event information via the communication medium to the user based upon the user's profile.

Abstract: An online course preparation method and system is provided in which reference material comprising pre-read documents is associated and made available with a respective course. The system provides for real time documents and comprises a document repository for storing course information and associated pre-read documents. A first interface is included for creating, identifying, and linking the pre-read documents to an associated course in the repository. A second interface is also provided for a user registering for an associated course. An information module identifies the user to the system and verifies authorization of the user and additionally, a processing module, coupled to the repository and the second interface, communicates real time via a communication medium the associated pre-read documents of a selected course.

Abstract: An object detection apparatus includes a data acquisition system configured to acquire diagnostic data of the subject, an image reconstructor configured to reconstruct at least one image of the subject from the diagnostic data, and a data retrieval device configured to retrieve a first set of bookmarks identifying a first set of objects of interest in the at least one image. The object detection apparatus further includes a computer programmed to display the at least one image on a console and detect input from the user corresponding to a second set of bookmarks identifying a second set of objects of interest in the image. The computer is further programmed to selectively allow the user to incorporate each bookmark of the first set of bookmarks into the second set of bookmarks.
