The invention relates to a method for generating on at least one display device a graphics display of data descriptors. The data descriptors, describing items of data, are arranged on an interactive timeline as interactive timeline elements along with interactive data elements. The interactive timeline elements and the interactive data elements allow retrieval of the items of data.

Graphical interface for the management of sequential medical data

In a medical visualization method, wherein: a series of organ slice images are acquired at different points in time by an imaging modality; the acquired organ slice images are stored in an image data memory with information about the series and/or the point in time of the acquisition. A data connection between an input/output device and the image data memory is established and the available series are determined. Series that are specific to the organ are symbolically represented with a display of the availability thereof. The organ slice images associated with a selected series are displayed. An input/output device as well as a computer program product operates according to the method.

Medical visualization method, combined display/input device, and computer program product

A method is described for evaluating a tomography data record. In at least one embodiment, a tomography data record of a hollow organ is generated, the tomography data record is analyzed automatically, and organ sections to be assessed as critical are determined. Further, a corresponding findings list entry is generated in a findings list as a reaction to a determined organ section to be assessed as critical, various organ sections are displayed successively on the basis of the tomography data record, and after its first display, an organ section assessed as critical can be selected for renewed display directly via the findings list. Furthermore, a corresponding tomography workstation is described.

Method for evaluating a tomography data record, and a tomography workstation

A method and a device are disclosed for visualizing a sequence of tomographic image data records of an examination volume that has been recorded at a time interval from one another. In at least one embodiment of the method, the image data records are firstly registered with one another. On the basis of the registration with regard to a display perspective and a displayed volume region identical views are generated from at least three of the image data records and displayed on an imaging surface of a graphic display unit in a fashion superposed on one another with adjustable weighting and/or adjustable transparency. For the superposed display, there are inserted on the imaging surface one or more controllers by whose interactive operation an operator can adjust or vary the weighting and/or transparency with which the at least three views are superposed. The present method and the associated device, in at least one embodiment, allow an operator to evaluate the corresponding image data records with a reduced outlay on time.
