A user interacts with a medical imaging system and a medical reporting system to prepare a medical report. The medical reporting system includes report templates for medical reports. The report templates include placeholder fields with unique placeholder designations and metadata. After a user entry in the medical imaging system to select an image dataset, the image dataset and analysis tools are made available to the user. After a user entry in the medical reporting system to select a report template, a report template is made available. Placeholders contained in the selected report template are displayed with corresponding placeholder designations and metadata, automatically sent to the imaging system, and displayed as data requests. According to the data requests displayed, the data corresponding to the data requests is ascertained or determined by the user and assigned to the placeholder designations. A report editor automatically saves the data in the placeholder fields.

Method, apparatus, and computer program product for preparing a medical report

A document and template creation system includes a document and template creation device. The document and template creation device is configured to identify at least one domain ontology concept based on at least a portion of a text-string input into a document, propose the at least one domain ontology concept for selection by the user, and insert at least one of the at least one domain ontology concept into the document in response to selection by the user.

Methods, apparatuses, systems and computer readable mediums to create documents and templates using domain ontology concepts

One embodiment of the invention is disclosed, related to a method for associating at least two different medical findings with each other, each of the findings being based on a characteristic area in a different set of images. The location of at least one anatomical landmark in relation to the respective characteristic area is determined in each in each of the different sets of images. Then a reference to the least one anatomical landmark is stored together with the respective finding for each of the at least two findings. Finally, pairs of associated findings based on a comparison of the respective references to the at least one anatomical landmark are identified among the at least two findings.

Method and system for associating at least two different medical findings with each other

In a method for producing an item list of components for the assembly of a module including the components at a first location, wherein the components can be taken from a number of offered components, the offered components are provided with a reference number and are accessible from the first location, and at least one individual property of each component is stored together with its reference number in a databank that is arranged at a second location different from the first location.

Method for producing an item list

In a method for manufacturing a detector system composed of a number of detector elements respectively disposed at installation positions in a computed tomography (CT) apparatus, the detector elements are allocated to respective installation positions on the basis of a table that, for at least one image-relevant physical property, contains at least the allowable upper limit value or the allowable lower limit value for the individual installation positions for the deviation of the property with respect to a detector element occupying a neighboring installation position.
