Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a networked healthcare data management system. Certain embodiments of the data management system include a healthcare data archive connected to a network wherein the archived data comprises diagnostic, therapeutic, and demographic data. Certain embodiments further include a worklist server connected to the network wherein the worklist server receives data descriptors from the healthcare data archive and compiles the data descriptors into worklists. Certain embodiments also include a client system connected to a network wherein the client system queries the worklist server and the worklist server answers the queries by providing at least the network location of the archived data.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for a system for viewing medical images including a set of image slices, a selected image, an overview image, and a user interface component. The selected image is selected from the set of image slices. The overview image includes a representation of the set of image slices. The user interface component is capable of simultaneously displaying the selected image and the overview image.

Abstract: A system and method for utilizing a spatial three-dimensional display unit with a medical diagnostic imaging system is disclosed. The medical diagnostic imaging system may be a picture archival communication system. The system may include at least one two-dimensional display unit and an additional spatial three-dimensional display unit. Accordingly a user may view two and three-dimensional images of similar anatomical objects. The two and three-dimensional images may be linked, providing the user with a consistent viewing angle. The system may be used to review a surgical path. The display parameters of a first three-dimensional data set may be mapped to a second three-dimensional data set. The surgical path of the first data set and the second data set may be displayed on spatial display units. Accordingly, the anatomical objects along the surgical path may be viewed at different points in time, for example prior to surgery and after surgery.

Abstract: Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method for generating an auto-learning worklist. The method includes tracking read case data. The method also includes automatically configuring a worklist based at least in part on the read case data. Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a method for using an auto-learning worklist. The method includes reading a first case from the auto-learning worklist. The method also includes pre-loading a second case from the auto-learning worklist while the first case from the auto-learning worklist is being read.
