20090030946 | Indication-dependent control elements - A method is disclosed for controlling the display of activation elements for tools for editing medical data on a user interface in a computer-based, medico-technical system. In at least one embodiment, the activation elements are displayed in an activation element area, divided into various segments, of the user interface on the basis of the medical context. The doctor is thus able to select the tools clearly on a task- or indication-specific basis without an image data area of the user interface being concealed by the activation elements. | 01-29-2009 |
20090073114 | Control of a scrollable context menu - Disclosed are a method, a system and a navigation device for generating and controlling an interaction object, which is preferably in the form of a context menu, on a display unit. In at least one embodiment, the method includes presentation of the interaction object by way of at least one presentation signal from the navigation device and selection of at least one functional element from the presented interaction object by way of at least one selection signal from the navigation device, wherein the selection can be made independently of a movement by the navigation device and wherein the at least one functional element to be selected and/or the selected at least one functional element is presented at a constant location on the display unit by moving within the interaction object or by moving the interaction object. | 03-19-2009 |
20090106047 | Integrated solution for diagnostic reading and reporting - A method, a computer program product and a system are disclosed for producing a medical report. In at least one embodiment, the method includes provisioning medical examination data in a display context which has been selected from a multiplicity of display contexts; capturing diagnosis data which relate to the selected display context and to the medical examination data; and automatic conversion of the diagnosis data into a report context, the report context being explicitly associated with the selected display context. | 04-23-2009 |
20090254566 | Findings navigator - A method is disclosed for providing access to medical information, the medical information being distributed across a plurality of data files. In at least one embodiment, the method includes receiving data files being relevant to the medical information; selecting a current layout from a plurality of layouts for making the data files accessible; providing previous layout information, referring to a previous layout in which the data file has been acquired, and wherein the previous layout information is usable for automatically adapting the current layout to the previous layout; detecting markers associated with the received data files, the markers referring to a location of interest within one of the received data files, wherein the markers optionally comprise additional information concerning the Location of Interest; adapting the markers of the previous layout to the current layout, such as to mark the same location of interest; and providing access to the medical information in the selected current layout, wherein the medical information comprises the data files and the locations of interest within the data files according to the detected markers, such as to make browsable the data files and the markers within the data files. | 10-08-2009 |
20100050114 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR DISPLAYING MEDICAL THUMBNAIL OBJECTS IN A BROWSING COMPONENT - A computer-implemented method and a system for browsing medical thumbnail objects to be displayed on a window on a monitor before loading the medical objects. It is possible to load only those images which indeed are relevant for a user and thus to save transmission time. A display pattern for displaying the thumbnail objects is user-selectable and includes a number of objects to be displayed and advantageously the arrangement or pattern remains constant, even in case a window size has been modified. Using a fixed but user-selectable layout pattern supports selection of relevant images during browsing. The window size is also user-selectable. After having determined the display pattern and the window size the size of the thumbnail objects is calculated automatically according to the determined display pattern and the determined window size. The thumbnail objects are displayed in the calculated object size, which favorably simplifies browsing of complex medical images. | 02-25-2010 |

20150085971 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR THE AUTOMATIC SELECTION OF A SCANNING PROTOCOL - A method is disclosed for automatically selecting a scanning protocol for a tomographic recording of an X-ray image of a patient in that at least one patient-specific value is retrieved in the internal memory of a first computer. The patient-specific value can in particular be a measure of the anticipated X-ray absorption by the patient. The method includes automatically comparing the patient-specific value with retrievably stored reference values, wherein one scanning protocol can be associated with each reference value. Finally, a scanning protocol is automatically selected by way of the first computer using the comparison. Selection is simplified by automation of selection of the scanning protocol since no manual selection of the scanning protocol has to be made. Automatic selection of a suitable scanning protocol is also quicker than a manual selection. | 03-26-2015 |
20150117738 | CT SYSTEM WITH COMPUTER UNIT AND METHOD FOR RECONSTRUCTING AND DIAGNOSING VISUAL CT RENDERINGS - An embodiment of a CT system includes a computer unit and at least one memory device for storing program code and projection data records, established during a CT scan and usable for reconstructing CT renderings. The computer unit is connected in a networked system with at least one external diagnosis computer including a memory with program code for diagnosing reconstructed visual CT renderings. A method for reconstructing and diagnosing visual CT renderings is also disclosed. In an embodiment, a request for reconstructing a CT data record with a projection data record stored in the computer unit is received, sent from a diagnosis computer in a diagnosis station, by the computer unit of the CT system via the communications network; the computer unit recognizes this request; the computer unit automatically executes the requested reconstruction and the reconstructed CT rendering is transmitted to the requesting diagnosis computer via the communications network. | 04-30-2015 |
