ASSIGNMENT OF MEASUREMENT DATA TO INFORMATION DATA
First Claim
1. A method of assigning measurement data of a body of a patient, the measurement data having been accumulated by a first medical imaging system, to information data related to the body or vice versa, the method comprising:
- a) providing annotated measurement data to a number of measurement data regions, based on a first medical knowledge ontology, at least one measurement data finding being annotated in each of the measurement data regions, such that the measurement data regions together with the respective assigned measurement data findings form a first group of annotations, each of the measurement data findings representing a parameter value related to the corresponding measurement data region to which it is annotated;
b) providing annotated information data to a number of information data regions, based on a second medical knowledge ontology, at least one information data finding being annotated in each of the information data regions, such that the information data regions together with respective assigned information data findings form a second group of annotations, each of the information data findings representing a parameter value related to the corresponding information data region to which it is annotated;
c) translating the first group of annotations into a first group of universal annotations and the second group of annotations into a second group of universal medical annotations in a universal annotation ontology management system such that all universal annotations of the first group of annotations have the same ontological basis as all universal annotations of the second group of annotations;
d) comparing the universal annotations of the first group of universal annotations with the universal annotations of the second group of universal annotations based on features related to at least one of parameter values in the findings and regions; and
e) assigning the universal annotations to each other which have such common or similar features.

Abstract
A method is disclosed for assigning measurement data of a body of a patient to information data related to the same body. The method includes providing annotated measurement data, providing annotated information data, translating the first group of annotations into a first group of universal annotations and the second group of annotations into a second group of universal medical annotations in a universal annotation ontology management system, comparing the universal annotations of the first group of universal annotations with the universal annotations of the second group of universal annotations, and assigning the universal annotations to each other. An assignment system and a universal annotation ontology management system are also disclosed.

12. An assignment system for assigning measurement data of a body of a patient, the measurement data having been accumulated by a medical imaging system, to information data related to the body or vice versa, the assignment system comprising:
-
a first providing module configured to provide annotated measurement data to a number of measurement data regions, based on a first medical knowledge ontology, at least one measurement data finding being annotated in each of the measurement data regions, such that the measurement data regions together with the respective assigned measurement data findings form a first group of annotations, each of the measurement data findings representing a parameter value related to a corresponding measurement data region to which it is annotated, a second providing module configured to provide annotated information data to a number of information data regions, based on a second medical knowledge ontology, at least one information data finding being annotated in each of the information data regions, such that the information data regions together with respective assigned information data findings form a second group of annotations, each of the information data findings representing a parameter value related to a corresponding information data region to which it is annotated; a universal annotation ontology management system configured to, in operation, translate the first group of annotations into a first group of universal annotations and translate the second group of annotations into a second group of universal annotations such that all universal annotations of the first group of universal annotations have the same ontological basis as all universal annotations of the second group of universal annotations; a comparison module configured to, in operation, compare the universal annotations of the first group of universal annotations with the universal annotations of the second group of universal annotations by detecting common or similar features related at least one of to parameter values in the findings and to regions; and e) an assignment module configured to, in operation, assign the universal annotations to each other which have such common or similar features. - View Dependent Claims (13)

14. A universal annotation ontology management system for assigning measurement data of a body of a patient, the measurement data having been accumulated by a medical imaging system to information data related to the same body or vice versa, the universal annotation ontology management system comprising:
-
a first input interface configured to receive annotated measurement data from a first providing module, the annotated measurement data corresponding to a number of measurement data regions in which, based on a first medical knowledge ontology, at least one measurement data finding is annotated in each of the measurement data regions, the measurement data regions together with their assigned measurement data findings forming a first group of annotations, each of the measurement data findings representing a parameter value related to the corresponding measurement data region to which it is annotated, a second input interface configured to receive annotated information data from a second providing module the annotated information data corresponding to a number of information data regions in which, based on a second medical knowledge ontology, at least one information data finding is annotated in each of the information data regions, the information data regions together with their assigned information data findings forming a second group of annotations, each of the information data findings representing a parameter value related to the corresponding information data region to which it is annotated, wherein the universal annotation ontology management system is configured to, in operation, translate the first group of annotations into a first group of universal annotations and the second group of annotations into a second group of universal annotations such that the universal annotations of the first group of universal annotations have the same ontological basis as the universal annotations of the second group of universal annotations.
