Abstract: A method for generating an audio/video report, to be used with a report of radiographic image(s) is disclosed. The audio/video report is created by the radiologist while generating the report. The audio/video report includes a portion of a screen image selected by the radiologist, as well as the spoken words of the radiologist. The audio/video report is stored in the database with the report for access by clinicians and others. The audio/video report may be used as a tool for teaching interesting cases.

Abstract: A web-based system is disclosed for managing radiology services for one or more medical facilities. The system, comprising both hardware and software components, provides mechanisms by which radiographic images and demographic information about a patient are transmitted to a central location and efficiently combined, allowing a designated radiologist to efficiently interpret the radiographic images and produce a preliminary report. The central location includes web-based, secure access by which multiple entities may interpret and update the preliminary report. Although the system is designed with after-hours radiology services in mind, the system may be employed in radiology departments during regular weekday operation.
