Abstract: A computer-based method for generating intelligence from social media data, such as blog data, that is publicly available on the Internet. A server is provided that runs a tribe analysis tool, and the method includes accessing a set of the social media data with the tribe analysis tool. The social media data is associated with a plurality of network users or authors. The method continues with operating the tribe analysis tool to identify members of a tribe from the authors by processing the set of social media data to determine the authors having associated portions of the social media data that satisfies tribe membership criteria. Common interests for the identified members of the tribe are determined by processing the social media data associated with the tribe authors. A report is generated for the tribe that includes information related to the set of common interests and additional generated tribe-based intelligence.

Abstract: A distributed architecture allows for decoupling of mammographic image acquisition and review, thereby enabling more efficient use of resources and enhanced processing. In one embodiment, the system (100) includes a number of image acquisition stations (102) and a number of image review stations (110) all associated with a central server (104). The server (104) is operative to access an image repository (106), a patient information data base (108) and a number of DICOM tools (112). The invention allows for more efficient and/or more convenient use of the image acquisition equipment and image processing stations. Moreover, the distributed architecture including the central image repository provides certain processing and analysis advantages. The invention also provides certain processing and workflow enhancements that allow for a more full realization of potential digital mammography advantages.
