Abstract
A method for controlling an evaluation system for medical images of a patient is proposed. Medical images of the patient acquired at different time points are stored in an image database. Upon reception of a user command associated with a time-dependent evaluation command including at least one evaluation parameter describing an evaluation to be performed and identification information describing the patient, medical images of the patient fulfilling a relevancy criterion depending on the evaluation parameter and acquired at different time points are retrieved from the image database. The retrieved images are registered to each other in at least one registration process. Finally, a composite evaluation image data set including a time series of evaluation images is derived from the registered retrieved images and output to the user.
