Abstract
The present invention relates to a single, fully integrated image archival and workflow system, that provides instantaneous access to a variety of software programs, which are customized using user-specific profiles from a database which includes predetermined workflow preferences. The customized software applications are used during image analysis and interpretation, and can be automated to be retrieved during image studies. When multiple programs are available for a given single study or combination of studies, then the system can either use preselected programs, or can allow the user the option of selecting the ones most appropriate for use. The system has the capability of obtaining feedback from the users as to whether the software was appropriate for the given study or studies for future reference.
