Abstract: Systems and methods are related to a global ranking for a unified list of tasks. From a plurality of work projects each having one or more tasks, a processor may receive a first set of selections of at least two work projects for generating a work backlog having a unified list of tasks. The processor may generate a list of potential tasks to include in the work backlog from the selected work projects. The processor may receive a second set of selections of one or more of the potential tasks to include in the work backlog. The processor may send signals to display the unified list of tasks of the work backlog based on the potential tasks selected. The unified list of tasks comprises at least two types of tasks from two different work projects having disparate priority metrics.

Abstract: A medical procedure localization aid produces reference marks on both the patient and the medical imaging scan. The aid is defined by a substrate sheet having indicia on one side that is opaque to medical imaging radiation and indicia on a second side that is transferable to a patient. The indicia on the first side is displayed on the scan image and the indicia on the second side is imprinted on the patient. By visualizing the location of a target on the scan image relative to the indicia on the scan image and comparing that with indicia on the patient, a medical professional may reliably locate where a medical procedure should be performed.
