Abstract: A taskflow unit that assigns tasks to different software units in a medical computer network. The taskflow unit merges tasks to form at least one taskflow within the medical computer network. The taskflow unit is installed on an application server within the computer network.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, if the pre-start level has the value empty container, the computer creates a container within the framework of the pre-start but does not load any application into the container. If the pre-start level has the value application, the computer creates a respective container within the framework of the pre-start for each application. If the pre-start level has a higher value, the computer determines within the framework of the pre-start a degree of grouping for the applications assigned to the respective pre-started unit, and groups the applications in accordance with the degree of grouping determined into at least one container group. Within the framework of the processing of the complex tasks, the computer terminates on switching from one application to another application, the application still being executed only if the application involves an application not able to be suspended.

Abstract: An effective and user-friendly system is disclosed for creating and running a software application for medical imaging, having at least one framework which has a service layer and a superordinate toolkit layer as an application programming interface, wherein functions of the toolkit layer and of the service layer are grouped in each case in a number of components which are arranged strictly hierarchically in such a way that any component can only ever be accessed from a superordinate component.

Abstract: A method and a medical computer system for executing the method are disclosed for reducing the waiting time for at least one user of the computer system when they first execute at least one work step in the computer system. The method includes pre-starting a process which is not yet assigned to a user, and loading the services into the process, which the applications initiated by a user to execute the at least one work step are very likely to call without the user already being assigned to the process.

Abstract: A taskflow unit is disclosed including at least one of a device and module for controlling computer-aided medical tasks within a medical computer network. In at least one embodiment, tasks are assigned to different software units, wherein the tasks are merged to form at least one taskflow within the medical computer network. In at least one embodiment, the taskflow unit is installed on an application server within the computer network.

Abstract: A method for managing and/or processing medical image data is disclosed, in particular for controlling a medical workflow. Furthermore, a computer system and a computer program product having a computer program product code for implementing the method are disclosed. One embodiment is directed to a method for managing and/or processing medical image data including inputting medical image data generated by one or several modalities, the image data including the description data according to a predefined structure; assigning the image data to a template as a function of the classification thereof, with the template specifying the respective processing of image data in one or several processing steps and being used for the classification preferably of lists of classification criteria; and extracting the classification criteria at least partially from the description data.
