Abstract: A recording device is presented. The recording device includes a material having a front surface and a back surface, wherein the front surface is configured to allow a user to record information, where the back surface has an adhesive disposed thereon, and where the recording device is configured to be removably and re-adherably affixed to the user.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for displaying images using a plurality of perspectives within a hanging protocol. Certain embodiments include loading a hanging protocol for display of an image study, selecting a perspective within the hanging protocol for display of the image study, and displaying the image study based on a display configuration within the selected perspective. In certain embodiments, the perspective is selected from a plurality of perspectives, including a default perspective, within the hanging protocol. In certain embodiments, selection of the perspective comprises selection of a perspective based on modality, anatomy, procedure, and/or default view, for example. In certain embodiments, a perspective may be automatically within the hanging protocol for display of the image study. In certain embodiments, a user may be allowed to switch perspectives during display of the image study.

Abstract: A system and method to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a radiologist. In a medical imaging systems, a user may typically compare images of a patient from a current study with images of the patient from a previous study. A user may use several body part filters to retrieve studies applicable to a current study. A first filter may have a search set of available body parts, essentially returning available studies of the patient. A second filter may have a search set corresponding to the body parts of the current study. A third set of filters may have a search set corresponding to one body part of a current study. Each filter in the third set may have a distinct search set comprising one of the body parts of the current study. A fourth set of filters may have a search set defined by the user.

Abstract: A system and method to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a radiologist. A context manager for managing the display of multi-patient contexts. In an embodiment computer software operates as a context manager and correlates the context of at least one information container with at least one image container. A graphical container displaying information about a patient, as opposed to an image, may be an information container. A graphical container displaying images of a patient, as opposed to information, may be an image container. In order to minimize occurrences of a user viewing information about a first patient and images of a second patient, and mistakenly believing the information and images belong to the same patient, a visual indicator may be displayed over images that are out-of-context with the information displayed. The visual indicator may be a watermark to alert a user of a difference in context.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide an improved medical imaging and information management system and method with conferencing and control capability. Certain embodiments of the system include an initiator workstation capable of remotely controlling functionality at a slave workstation and a slave workstation including functionality capable of control by the initiator workstation. The initiator workstation is capable of remotely configuring a display protocol of said slave workstation to share diagnostic quality images. In an embodiment, the system includes a picture archiving and communication system (PACS), with first and second PACS workstations as the initiator and slave workstations, for example. In an embodiment, the initiator controls all functionality at the slave. In an embodiment, the initiator controls selected functions at the slave.

Abstract: A system and method to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of a radiologist. A display protocol for medical imaging equipment may allow a plurality of three-dimensional medical images to be concurrently displayed and navigated. The three-dimensional medical images may be linked so a user can manipulate the viewing angle and pointer in the linked images. The display protocol can be configured to display a three-dimensional image from a current exam and a three-dimensional comparison image. Moreover, a display protocol for medical imaging equipment may allow at least one three-dimensional medical image to be concurrently displayed with at least one two-dimensional medical image. The three-dimensional medical image may be linked with the two-dimensional medical image so a user can manipulate the viewing angle and pointer in the linked images. The display protocol can be configured to display a three-dimensional image with axial, sagital, coronal, or non-standard oblique views.
