Method and apparatus for assisting the evaluation of medical image data
First Claim
1. A method for assisting the evaluation of medical image data, comprising:
- displaying a current layout which presents an arrangement of at least one of an image series and individual images which are generated using one or more data records;
displaying at least one executable work step which has at least one associated further layout, wherein the further layout involves at least the arrangement being changed; and
automatically performing a check to determine whether execution of the displayed at least one executable work step requires a layout change in which the current layout is replaced by the further layout, or whether the current layout is to be retained.

Abstract
A method for assisting the evaluation of medical image data is disclosed. In at least one embodiment of the method a current layout is displayed which presents a particular arrangement of image series or individual images which are generated using one or more data records. Further, at least one executable work step is displayed which has at least one associated further layout, wherein the further layout involves at least the arrangement being changed, and, in particular, other information from the data records or other data records are used for generating the image series or images. Finally, a check is automatically performed to determine whether execution of the displayed work step requires a layout change in which the current layout is replaced by the further layout, or the current layout can be retained. In at least one embodiment, this assists particularly a treating doctor in the evaluation of the medical image data, since the check affords the opportunity to make a decision about whether the work step is executed under the present circumstances.
