Embodiment Construction

[0022] The improvements disclosed herein are premised, in part, on the recognition herein that radiology images acquired for a stated reason for an exam may also be useful for other tasks, such as reviewing the presence of a patient not requested in an exam order. Problematic ("existing" problem as used herein broadly includes past problems that are currently in remission, considered cured, currently asymptomatic, etc., but that have a high likelihood of recurrence (e.g. certain types of cancer )), and / or screen patients for other medical conditions for which they may be at particularly high risk. However, radiologists may not be aware of existing problems with patients not identified in the exam order. Likewise, radiologists may not be able to proactively screen due to ignorance of a patient's high-risk risk for a medical condition or due to time constraints Can be screened using imaging studies (that is, can be detected using imaging studies, contrast imaging, etc.) Check f...

Abstract

A radiology workstation (14) used to interpret a radiology examination (48) includes a display (20, 22), a user input device (24, 26, 28), and an electronic processor (12, 16). A radiology image of the radiology examination is displayed on the display. A radiology report is entered. An imaged anatomical region (54) is determined from the stored radiology examination. An examination basis medical condition is identified from the reason for examination (52). At least one additional medical condition is determined based on information on the patient retrieved from one or more medical databases (10, 44, 46) and is classified as reviewable or not reviewable based on the imaging modality (50) and the imaged anatomical region. An attention list (40) is created with items directed to the examination basis medical condition and to each reviewable additional medical condition. A representation (42) of the attention list is displayed on the display.

Description

technical field [0001] The following generally relates to the field of radiology, radiology reading, the field of radiology workstations, the field of radiology workstation user interfaces, and related fields. Background technique [0002] In existing radiology reports, radiology exams are ordered and performed, images are then read by a radiologist, who reports the findings of the radiology exam in a written radiology report, and then reports his / her opinion on the diagnosis impression. A referral order for a radiology examination states the reason for the examination in text and / or in the form of an order code such as an ICD code suitable for billing purposes, and it is the task of the radiologist to resolve the reason for the examination. Radiologists are medical experts in the field of radiology, and based on personal expertise, radiologists have incidentally identified other medical conditions or problems in radiological images to the extent that radiologists have iden...
