Workflow for computer aided detection
First Claim
1. In a diagnostic medical environment, a method to efficiently incorporate computer-aided-detection (CAD) capability into a workflow process of said diagnostic medical environment, said method comprising:
- transmitting image data from at least a first system to at least a second system and a third system;
generating detection results by processing said image data, using said second system, while storing and viewing said image data on at least said third system; and
transmitting said detection results from said second system to at least said third system.

Abstract
A method is disclosed, in a diagnostic medical environment, that enhances workflow while using a computer-aided-detection (or diagnosis) (CAD) system in the environment. The method comprises generating image data with a diagnostic medical imaging acquisition system. The image data is transmitted from the diagnostic medical imaging acquisition system to a computer-aided-detection (or diagnosis) (CAD) system and an archive/review station. Detection results are generated by processing the image data, using the CAD system, while storing and viewing the image data on the archive/review station. The detection results are transmitted from the CAD system to the archive/review station. The detection results are integrated with the image data by the archive/review station to form composite image data. The composite image data is displayed by the archive/review system.
