Abstract: A computer system for image processing has a first working environment with a first program for image processing, as well as a second working environment, logically separated from the first working environment, with a second program for image processing. The first working environment is implemented on a first server. Furthermore, the first working environment is designed to receive a first command to execute the first program and a second command to execute the second program, and to send the second command to the second working environment. The second working environment is designed to send an image processed by the second program to the first working environment. The communication of a user with the first and second program thus occurs via a uniform platform in the form of the first working environment, and the integration of the second program for image processing into the workflow is facilitated.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining bone mineral density values of an object. In an embodiment, the method includes acquisition of first two-dimensional projection overview image data of the object to be examined in an image detail with a first X-ray energy; acquisition of at least second two-dimensional projection overview image data of the object to be examined in an image detail with at least one different second X-ray energy; determining a bone overview image data record using the first and second projection overview image data; determining at least one specific evaluation region of the image detail using the bone overview image data record; and determining a bone mineral density value for the specific evaluation region of the image detail using the image data of the bone overview image data record in the specific evaluation region. A computerized tomography system for implementing a method is also disclosed.
