Billing support in a high throughput computer-aided detection environment

摘要

A method for generating billing statements using information relating to patient identification and film images from patients. The method provides a billing output from a CAD system including the steps of performing a processing operation on patient cases with a CAD system and identifying a status associated with the output of the CAD system. The CAD processing status is computed and stored for each case in association with the patient information. A database storing the joint information provides an efficient method for generating billing statements.
