Method and apparatus for managing a configurable display environment

摘要

A method, apparatus and computer program product are provided in order to manage a medical imaging study display environment. The method includes receiving, from at least one display device coupled to a medical imaging workstation, display environment context data. The method also includes extracting, by processing circuitry, metadata from a medical imaging study accessed by the medical imaging workstation, determining based at least in part on the metadata, image viewing context data, determining, based on the display environment context data and the image viewing context data, whether a display environment of the medical imaging workstation complies with one or more rules for viewing the medical imaging study, and in response to determining that the display environment of the medical imaging workstation does not comply with the one or more rules, performing at least one action before allowing viewing of the medical imaging study to proceed.

1. A method for managing a medical imaging study display environment comprising:
receiving, from at least one display device coupled to a medical imaging workstation, display environment context data, wherein the display environment context data comprises display resolution; extracting, by processing circuitry, metadata from a medical imaging study accessed by the medical imaging workstation, wherein the metadata describes one or more of the original capture resolution of the image, the file format of the image, the type of device used to capture the image, the date the image was captured, a patient associated with the captured image, a viewing orientation of the image, a particular anatomical part of the patient represented in the image, one or more diagnostic codes, or one or more procedure codes; determining based at least in part on the metadata from the medical image study, image viewing context data, wherein the viewing context data comprises medical image resolution of at least one image stored in the medical image study; determining, based on the display environment context data and the image viewing context data, whether a display environment of the medical imaging workstation complies with one or more rules for viewing the medical imaging study, wherein the rules relate at least in part to a compatibility between the display resolution of the display device and the medical image resolution of the at least one image; and in response to determining that the display environment of the medical imaging workstation does not comply with the one or more rules related to a compatibility between the display resolution of the display device and the medical image resolution of the at least one image, providing for presentation of a pop-up notification comprising one or more interface controls prompting the user to accept one or more display configuration changes needed to comply with the one or more rules, and causing the display configuration changes to be implemented on the display device before providing for presentation of the medical imaging study.
