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. |
