Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide consolidated reports for healthcare episodes are disclosed herein. An example method for use with a healthcare information system includes presenting a list of reports related to a healthcare episode to a user on a display device, wherein a selection of a first one of the reports causes the first report to be displayed in a first pane; providing an input field in a second pane configured to receive data; enabling the user to import information of the first report into the input field to create a consolidated report; associating the consolidated report with one or more of the reports related to the healthcare episode; and displaying the consolidated report on the display device in a second window in response to an inquiry into one of the reports related to the healthcare episode.

Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for displaying the change in size of a CAD identified pattern over time. Patterns on medical images stored in a medical imaging database are identified and measured using a CAD system. A user interface provides users with access to the medical images stored in imaging database via a network. A medical image belonging to a patient historical exam category and having at least one CAD identified pattern is displayed to a user via the user interface. The size of the CAD identified image pattern and the medical exam date associated with the medical image is compiled for each of the medical images belonging to the patient historical exam category. A graphic is then generated showing the sizes of the CAD identified image pattern and the medical exam dates associated with the medical image.

Abstract: In one embodiment, a method of deriving probability of a medical condition is provided. The method comprises obtaining a first medical data corresponding to a first medical subject from at least one medical information system, obtaining a second medical data corresponding to the first medical subject from an electronic data system, selecting at least one second medical subject with a second medical data substantially same as the second medical data of the first medical subject, obtaining medical condition data for the second medical subject, wherein the medical condition data includes data corresponding to a medical condition, correlating the first medical data with the medical condition data and deriving probability of the medical condition in the first medical subject based upon the first medical data and the medical condition data.

Abstract: Various methods, systems, medium, and code are disclosed for selecting a default report template, particularly in a PACS environment. In general, the selection protocols entail at least one first axis that contains at least one searchable parameter and at least one second axis that contains at least one report template, arranged according to a pre-determined user hierarchy. At least one of the parameters is then mapped to at least one of the report templates in order to select a default report template for a desired radiological context based on the mapping.

Abstract: A system and method for synchronizing a plurality of three-dimensional images. A user may manipulate three-dimensional images so the images have similar viewing parameters. A user may then link the three-dimensional images so a change in the viewing parameters in a first image may cause a corresponding change in viewing parameters in a second image. The images may be linked by selecting a region of interest for the three-dimensional images. After the images are linked, a user may select a master image or display region to navigate the viewing parameters of the other three-dimensional images. A user may also navigate the images using a wire illustrating a link between the regions of interest for the images. A user may also navigate the images using a picture-in-picture image or display region. In certain embodiments, the wires and/or cursors are optionally displayed to minimize obstructed viewing.
