  • Data processing of group imaging studies
    Patent number: 9177103
    Abstract: A system for processing multi-subject volumes comprises a volume input (1) for receiving an input volume image dataset (13) comprising a plurality of subjects scanned simultaneously. A metadata input (2) receives metadata (15) relating to individual ones of the subjects. A subject finder (3) identifies a plurality of portions of the input volume image dataset (13), each portion comprising one of the subjects. A volume image dataset generator (4) generates a plurality of separate volume image datasets (16), each separate volume image dataset (7) comprising one of the portions of the input volume image dataset. A metadata handler (5) associates the metadata (15) relating to a subject with the separate volume image dataset (7) comprising the portion comprising the subject.

  • Medical workflow systems and methods with process workflow recordation
    Patent number: 9047539
    Abstract: A medical information processing and storage system includes a medical images database storing medical images and metadata relevant to the medical images. A processor is configured to perform post-acquisition image processing on medical images. A medical images archiver is configured to store a medical image in the medical images database after the medical image has been processed by the processor. The medical images archiver stores the medical image in the database with processing-descriptive metadata that is descriptive of the post-acquisition image processing performed on the medical image by the processor.
