RADIOLOGY WORKFLOW COORDINATION TECHNIQUES

摘要

Systems and methods for coordinating a medical imaging workflow with the use of preparation and coordination actions, and similar pre-processing protocols are disclosed herein. Imaging procedure data from a medical imaging study, such as image data and order data produced from imaging procedures (e.g., radiological imaging procedures) at medical facilities is processed and presented for review to a preparing user. The preparing user is offered the ability to change the display characteristics of image presentation, supplement erroneous or incomplete data and information of the study, open a support request for the study, or associate prior or comparison images with the study. The changes provided by the preparing user within these or other portions of a preparation protocol may be used to affect a subsequent display of the medical imaging study, and in some examples, to affect the assignment of the study in the workflow to particular imaging users.

主权项

1. A method for management of a medical imaging workflow, the method implemented by a computing device through an execution of operations on at least one processor and memory of the computing device, with the operations comprising:
electronically processing data associated with a medical imaging study, the data associated with the medical imaging study including imaging data from a medical imaging procedure; performing a preparation protocol upon the data associated with the medical imaging study, the preparation protocol establishing preparation data to affect an evaluation of the medical imaging study; performing an electronic assignment of the medical imaging study to a medical evaluator, the electronic assignment being performed based on the data associated with the medical imaging study and the preparation data; and making the medical imaging study available to the medical evaluator for evaluation, the medical imaging study being made available for evaluation in response to a completion of the performing of the preparation protocol; wherein the preparation data is used to affect a display of the imaging data to the medical evaluator within the evaluation of the medical imaging study.
