Abstract: A system for context-sensitive medical communication is described. Patient presentation data is obtained, the patient presentation data is mapped to biological system data, wherein the biological system data are obtained by a population-based comparison, and a relevance-driven summary is generated. Following the primary read, the study can be compressed and transmitted remotely, such as in teleconsultation described below. The imaging study can be provided by patient presentation mapping to medical nomenclature, and mapping the patient study to an appropriate normalized atlas which has been created by averaging and morphing as well as quantification and providing labels which have come from data mining of reports.
