Abstract: The invention relates to a system for zooming an image displayed in a viewport, wherein the image comprises a plurality of regions, each region of the plurality of regions having a zoom function associated with the region, the system comprising an input unit for receiving a region input for selecting a region of the plurality of regions and for receiving a zoom input for zooming the image, and a zoom unit for zooming the image based on the zoom input, using the zoom function associated with the selected region. The zoom function associated with each region of the plurality of regions may be defined in any way deemed useful. For example, it may be defined in such a way that the selected region or an interesting portion of it is displayed in the viewport or, vice versa, the selected region or an interesting portion thereof is removed from the displayed view of the image.

Abstract: A system (100) for generating a key-image from a medical image, the key-image comprising an image area selected from the medical image, the system comprising: —an image analyzer (140) for: i) detecting a lesion (300) in the medical image; ii) based on anatomical information, identifying an anatomical landmark (310) which has an anatomical relation with the lesion; and iii) detecting the anatomical landmark in the medical image; and —a key-image generator (160) for j) selecting an image area (400) in the medical image which comprises the lesion (300) and the anatomical landmark (310), and jj) generating the key-image (162) so as to comprise said image area.

Abstract: A system for maintaining corresponding information in a structured document and in a report is disclosed. The structured document comprises structured data elements and the report comprises text in a natural language. An associating unit (1) is arranged for associating a structured data element of the structured document with an associated part of the report, wherein information represented by the structured data element corresponds to information represented by the associated part of the report. A determining unit (2) is arranged for determining a change to one of the structured data element and the associated part of the report, to obtain a determined change. A corresponding change unit (3) is arranged for making a corresponding change to the other one of the structured data element and the associated part of the report, based on the determined change.

Abstract: A system for processing a breast image is described. A glandular tissue contour detector (1) is arranged for detecting a contour (407) of a glandular tissue (303) represented in the breast image (310), the glandular tissue detector (1) detecting the contour of a region within the image that comprises the mammary glands of a breast (301) represented in the breast image (310).The glandular tissue contour detector (1) comprises a concave hull determiner (2) for determining a concave hull of the region to obtain the contour (407).A display unit (3) is arranged for displaying the breast image (310) with the contour (407) superimposed.

Abstract: A system for selecting a set of documents from a health record of a patient (1) is disclosed. A specialty unit (21) is arranged for determining a specialty (3) for selecting the set of documents, to obtain a determined specialty. A first selecting unit (4) is arranged for selecting a first set of documents (5) from the health record, wherein a specialty of a physician associated with the documents of the first set of documents (5) matches the determined specialty. A body part determining unit (6) is arranged for determining a body part (7) associated with at least one document of the first set of documents (5), to obtain a body part. A second selecting unit (8) is arranged for selecting a second set of documents (9) from the health record, wherein a body part associated with the documents of the second set of documents matches the determined body part.
