Abstract: A computer-implemented method which, given a set of procedure definitions in a first radiology information system generates the best match for a procedure definition defined in a second system on the basis of a multidimensional vector representation of procedure definitions and a matching algorithm based on vector cosine similarity.

Abstract: A data processing system for determining an availability speed of a medical image includes a client sends a request for viewing the medical image, a server that provides the client with the medical image upon reception of the request, an availability determining unit configured to: determine a download path to be followed by the medical image within the data processing system in order to be made available to the client, retrieve configuration parameters indicative for a transfer speed along the download path, and determine the availability speed of the medical image from the download path and from the configuration parameters.

Abstract: A method for patient registration at a healthcare facility includes the steps of creating an order for a medical examination for the patient in a computer system of the healthcare facility, retrieving an electronic questionnaire from a data repository accessible by the computer system, completing the electronic questionnaire with data provided by the patient, and synchronizing data from the completed questionnaire with the order in the computer system.

Abstract: A system for pre-fetching in a medical imaging and archiving platform a subset of comparison medical studies in relation to an active medical study includes a medical study database to store medical studies; a relevancy rule database to store relevancy rules that express relevancy of a comparison medical study in view of an active medical study; a relevancy rule manager enabling to define the relevancy rules; and a relevancy rule engine to select for the active medical study applicable relevancy rules from the relevancy rule database, and to apply the selected relevancy rules to pre-fetch the subset of comparison medical studies. The relevancy rules include enhanced relevancy rules using contextual information stored in a medical report, an order, or procedure information that forms part of the medical studies.
