Abstract: A method for providing documentation and/or annotation capabilities for volumetric data may include receiving an indication of user insertion of an annotation with respect to a particular presentation state of a planar view of volumetric data and generating a medical image such as a DICOM image corresponding to the particular presentation state and including the annotation in response to receipt of the indication. A corresponding computer program product and apparatus are also provided.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatus, and computer program products are provided for monitoring and allocating shared resources. For example, in one embodiment, the status of resource dependent entities is continuously monitored to determine the current use of a shared resource. When a resource dependent entity requires use of the shared resource, a (a) request for use of the shared resource can be generated and (b) determination can be made as to whether any of the current allocations of the shared resource can be released for use by the resource dependent entity.

Abstract: An apparatus, method, and computer program product are provided for navigating, analyzing, annotating, and interpreting images. The apparatus may receive medical images comprising a volume, identify a display protocol (for the medical volumes) that comprises one or more configurable and editable stages, and execute the display protocol using at least a portion of the medical volumes.
