Computer program product and method for analysis of medical image data in a medical imaging system
First Claim
1. A computer program product for analysis of a source medical image data set in a medical imaging system, the computer program product being operable to:
- identify a user identity of a user;
identify at least one role being linked to said user identity from a list of a plurality of roles, each role being associated with a specification of role privileges of performing processing operations on a source medical image data set;
load a source medical image data set into an analysis workstation in said medical imaging system;
allow said user to review said loaded source medical image data set;
allow said user to, based on said role privileges, interactively perform processing operations on said loaded source medical image data set;
create a processing protocol comprising at least one processing parameter set corresponding to at least a subset of processing operations performed on said loaded source medical image data set;
allow said user to interactively specify at least one medical image data set characteristic to be associated with a processing protocol associater in said processing protocol, said processing protocol being associated with each source medical image data set having at least one of the at least one specified medical image data set characteristic;
allow said user to interactively restrict which users to be associated with a user access right of said processing protocol by specifying which roles or which user identity/identities to be associated with said user access right;
allow said user to interactively further restrict said role privileges of performing processing operations, which further restricted role privileges are to be applied in association with said processing protocol;
store said processing protocol in a central unit in the medical imaging system, and if said user is associated with a user access right of a stored processing protocol associated with said loaded source medical image data set reload said stored processing protocol into an analysis workstation in said medical imaging system;
allow said user to interactively choose said processing protocol for application on said loaded source medical image data set, and apply said stored processing protocol on said loaded source medical image data set.

Abstract
The present invention relates to a computer program product for analysis of a source medical image data set in a medical imaging system, being operable to: identify a user identity; identify at least one role linked to the user identity; load a source medical image data set; allow the user to review the loaded source medical image data set; allow the user to, based on role privileges, interactively perform processing operations on the loaded source medical image data set; create a processing protocol; allow the user to interactively specify at least one medical image data set characteristic to be associated with a processing protocol associater; allow the user to interactively restrict which user(s) to be associated with a user access right of the processing protocol by specifying which role(s) or which user identity/identities to be associated with the user access right; allow the user to interactively further restrict the role privileges; store the processing protocol in a central unit, and, if the user is associated with a user access right of a stored processing protocol, reload the stored processing protocol; allow the user to interactively choose the processing protocol for application, and apply the stored processing protocol.

15. A method for analysis of a source medical image data set in a medical imaging system, the method comprising:
-
identifying a user identity of a user;
identifying at least one role being linked to said user identity from a list of a plurality of roles, each role being associated with a specification of role privileges of performing processing operations on a source medical image data set;
loading a source medical image data set into an analysis workstation in said medical imaging system;
allowing said user to review said loaded source medical image data set;
allowing said user to, based on said role privileges, interactively perform processing operations on said loaded source medical image data set;
creating a processing protocol comprising at least one processing parameter set corresponding to at least a subset of processing operations performed on said loaded source medical image data set;
allowing said user to interactively specify at least one medical image data set characteristic to be associated with a processing protocol associater in said processing protocol, said processing protocol being associated with each source medical image data set having at least one of the at least one specified medical image data set characteristic;
allowing said user to interactively restrict which users to be associated with a user access right of said processing protocol by specifying which roles and/or which user identity/identities to be associated with said user access right;
allowing said user to interactively further restrict said role privileges of performing processing operations, which further restricted role privileges are to be applied in association with said processing protocol;
storing said processing protocol in a central unit in the medical imaging system, and if said user is associated with a user access right of a stored processing protocol associated with said loaded source medical image data set reloading said stored processing protocol into an analysis workstation in said medical imaging system;
allowing said user to interactively choose said processing protocol for application on said loaded source medical image data set, and applying said stored processing protocol on said loaded source medical image data set. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
