Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for equitably assigning medical images for examination. Data describing medical image studies pending examination are obtained from a medical data server. A relative complexity value is determined for each of the medical image studies based on an average amount of time to perform a particular type of image study. The medical image studies are assigned for examination by a respective user based on preferences associated with the respective user and the relative complexity value determined for each medical image study. A user interface is rendered by a client device, where the user interface includes a respective user worklist for each user. A user is prevented from viewing a particular medical image study based on a lock status associated with the particular medical image study.

Abstract: Disclosed are various embodiments for equitably assigning medical images for examination. Data describing a medical image study that is pending examination is obtained from a medical data server. The medical image study is assigned for examination by at least one of a plurality of users based on preferences associated with each of the users and a relative complexity value determined for the medical image study. Data describing the assignments is sent to a client. The client is configured to display at least one worklist. Each worklist is associated with a user and describes the one or more medical image studies that have been assigned to the user for examination.
