A method of processing an image wherein one or more processing functions are executed. Firstly, the steps involved in the one or more processing functions are determined where each of the one or more processing functions can include one or more processing steps. Secondly, the resource requirements associated with each of the processing functions are determined. The resource availability for the one or more resource requirements on a client is determined. Thirdly, and finally, each of the one or more processing functions are selectively allocated to the at least one of the client and the server in the case where the client does not have the required resource availability.

Method and system for dynamic image processing

A cursor mode display system and method for indicating an offset distance between a cursor position on an image and a closest image slice in a corresponding image series. First, the three-dimensional coordinates associated with the cursor position on the image are determined by projecting the cursor position onto a three-dimensional patient coordinate system. The closest image slice is then identified as the image slice in the corresponding image series that is closest to the three-dimensional coordinates of the cursor position. The offset distance between the closest image slice and the three-dimensional coordinates associated with the cursor position is then calculated. If the offset distance does not exceed a threshold value, then the closest image slice is displayed. Otherwise a modified version of the closest image slice is displayed.

Cursor mode display system and method

A system and method for navigating an image series, the image series containing a number of substantially aligned planar images. First, the images of the image the image series are grouped into a number of subseries, the number of subseries being less than the number of substantially aligned planar images in the image series. A representative image series is generated by generating an image from each subseries. The representative image series is displayed. It is determined whether an image from the representative image series has been selected. If an image from the representative image series has been selected, then the subseries associated with the selected image is displayed.
