Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to utilize task value units for imaging interpretation and other tasks, such as in the assignment of imaging interpretation and other tasks to a plurality of users. In the context of a method, the method associates, for each of a plurality of different types of imaging interpretation tasks and for each of a plurality of other tasks, a first task value unit therewith. The method also associates, for at least some of the plurality of different types of imaging interpretation or other tasks, a second task value unit, different than the first task value unit, therewith. Further, the method assigns imaging interpretation and other tasks to a plurality of users based at least partially upon the first and second task value units associated with the respective imaging interpretation tasks and the other tasks.

Abstract: A method, apparatus and computer program product provide improved image processing techniques. An example of a method includes receiving a source image, programmatically identifying a plurality of anatomical elements within the source image through use of a computer vision technique, determining a first region of the source image corresponding to a first anatomical element, determining a second region of the source image corresponding to a second anatomical element, applying at least one first configuration setting to the first region, applying at least one second configuration setting to the second region, the at least one second configuration setting different from the at least one first configuration setting, and generating a merged image, wherein the merged image comprises the first region as visualized according to the at least one first configuration setting and the second region as visualized according to the at least one second configuration setting.
