Abstract: A system includes one or more clients that send navigation requests for navigating a sequence of rendered medical images, and receive a video stream; two or more rendering nodes that render the sequence of rendered medical images according to the navigation requests; and a workflow server that routes the navigation requests to the two or more rendering nodes, converts the received sequence of rendered medical images to the video stream, and sends the video stream to the client for viewing.

Abstract: A system (100) for selecting a selected hanging protocol (201) for a medical study includes a memory to store hanging protocols and to store a credibility factor for each of the hanging protocols; a selection engine adapted to combine a calculated matching score between each of the hanging protocols and the medical study with the credibility factor, thereby defining a relevance score for each of the hanging protocols, and to select the hanging protocol with the highest relevance score as the selected hanging protocol.
