Certain embodiments of the present invention provide a system and method for image registration and display of relevant information. The method includes identifying one or more anatomical parts in an acquired image, mapping the acquired image to a reference image based on the one or more anatomical parts, storing anatomy information in relation to the acquired image, and displaying the acquired image based on the anatomy information. The method may also include controlling the displaying of the acquired image based on a voice command related to the anatomy information. Anatomy information may be displayed with the acquired image. Anatomy information may include clinical information, reference information, disease process information, a related image, and/or drug interaction information, for example. The acquired image may be displayed according to a display setting, such as a window level setting and/or other display setting, based on the anatomy information.

System and method for anatomy labeling on a PACS

A method and system for linking position location information between two-dimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) software applications for viewing diagnostic medical images. The position location information is integrated between 2D and 3D viewing paradigms. This integration provides bidirectional communication between the 2D and 3D viewing paradigm systems. The 3D cursor allows for immediate synchronized navigation through different image sets such as 3D magnetic resonance (MR) images and 2D computed tomography (CT) images while they are being simultaneously viewed on the two different viewing applications.

A workstation including a memory management scheme is disclosed herein. The memory management scheme permits a large number of files to be open on the workstation. The memory management scheme includes a prioritization scheme such that the least relevant files are unloaded from the workstation memory when space is needed to download newly opened files. The memory management scheme further includes saving settings of files unloaded from the workstation memory so that they can be reloaded when needed, with a user perceiving the unloaded files as being continually open.

Method and apparatus for managing memory in a workstation

An image management system ( ), such as a PACS system is disclosed. The PACS system includes a PACS server ( ) coupled to a communications network ( ) and a plurality of PACS workstations ( ) also coupled to a communications network ( ). Each PACS workstation ( ) is configured to receive two dimensional image information and provide incremental volume rendering on the PACS workstation ( ) while the two dimensional image information is being received.
