Abstract: A bridge apparatus for coupling a medical network with a non-medical network includes a storage unit to store data from the medical network, a first interface device for coupling the storage unit with the medical network, and a second interface device for coupling the storage unit with the non-medical network. The bridge apparatus is configured to execute write-only access requests on the storage unit via the first interface device or to execute read-only access requests on the storage unit via the second interface device.

Abstract: A display system and method for the display of images wherein there is a selection of a partitioning of an image display area from a predefined set of partitionings and display of a representation of the partitioning of the image display area in an image selection area. Then, representations of images of a set of images are displayed in the image selection area. Next, an assignment is made of a selected representation of an image to be displayed to an area of the representation of the partitioning via a graphical user interface. Then, the image is displayed in a part of the image display area that corresponds to the area of the representation of the partitioning.

Abstract: A method and computer system for screening of medical cases in which the computer system has a user interface which enables pre-programming of a sequence of images to be reviewed for each of a group of medical cases. The pre-programming is conducted by means of symbols or icons which are selectable by a user. The pre-programming of the sequence of images is done in a configuration phase of the computer system. During the screening procedure, the user can go from one image to the next by performing a single action input operation, such as, making a mouse click or pressing a next-step button. This has the advantage that the user can fully concentrate on reviewing the medical images without distraction.
