Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method for clinical presentation of a radiological study including: associating a customizable set of rules with image data corresponding to at least a portion of the radiological study; and rendering automatically the image data to form volumetric data; and navigating automatically the volumetric data with the customizable set of rules to present a navigated the at least a portion of the radiological study to a user. In an embodiment, the system further includes halting the navigating automatically the volumetric data from an interaction by the user. In an embodiment, the rendering automatically the image data is initiated from an interaction by the user. In an embodiment, the navigating automatically the volumetric data is initiated from an interaction by the user. In an embodiment, both the rendering automatically the image data and the navigating automatically the volumetric data are initiated an interaction by 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: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system for improved conferencing and collaboration in a healthcare environment. The system includes an initiator workstation capable of sharing data over a network with a participant workstation and manipulating the shared data based at least in part on input from an initiator. The system also includes a participant workstation capable of manipulating the shared data based at least in part on input from a participant. The initiator and participant workstations are capable of simultaneous user manipulation of the shared data.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for identification of most read images. Certain embodiments provide automatically determining a reading time for an image based on at least one of image viewing time and tool usage with respect to the image, and generating a viewing order for the image based on the reading time. Reading times may be determined for a plurality of images. In certain embodiments, a priority may be assigned to the image based on the reading time. Images may be arranged on a display based on the priority, for example. A series of images may be ordered according to reading time for each of a plurality of images, for example.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method and system for using medical perspectives to improve management of multiple applications and workflows. In an embodiment, the system includes a plurality of medical applications providing information to a user, a plurality of perspectives, and a medical perspectives manager for associating one or more applications with a perspective. The medical perspectives manager allows a user to access one or more associated applications using the perspective. Each perspective saves a relation with at least one of the medical applications. In an embodiment, the perspectives save component positioning and interactions based on workflow. The plurality of medical applications may include a plurality of information systems and/or imaging systems, for example. In an embodiment, each perspective personalizes a display of information to present relevant information for a user, a condition, and/or a system.
