USER INTERFACE FOR PROVIDING CLINICAL APPLICATIONS AND ASSOCIATED DATA SETS BASED ON IMAGE DATA
First Claim
1. A method for generating a user interface for selecting clinical applications in a medical imaging system, wherein the user interface is provided on a display and is responsive to user inputs in the medical imaging system, the method comprising:
- receiving a request to view a study including a plurality of images;
acquiring the study to be viewed from a medical imaging system database;
analyzing the acquired study with a rule engine that executes a plurality of applications rules on image data from the acquired study, wherein the rule engine identifies one or more clinical applications that are appropriate for the study, and wherein the rule engine further identifies at least one data set from the plurality of images suitable for each of the identified one or more clinical applications; and
displaying one or more icons each associated with one of the identified one or more clinical applications, wherein each of the one or more icons is selectable on the user interface to initialize the associated clinical application.

Abstract
A user interface for selecting clinical applications in a medical imaging system is provided on a display and is responsive to user inputs in the medical imaging system. A request to view a study that includes a plurality of images is received. The study to be viewed is then acquired from a medical imaging system database. The acquired study is analyzed with a rule engine that executes rules on image data from the acquired study. The rule engine identifies one or more clinical applications that are appropriate for the study and identifies at least one data set from the plurality of images suited for each of the identified one or more clinical applications. One or more icons each associated with one of the identified one or more clinical applications are displayed. The one or more icons are each selectable on the user interface to initialize the associated clinical application.

7. A user interface in a medical imaging system, wherein the user interface is provided on a display and is responsive to user inputs in the medical imaging system, the user interface comprising:
-
a study worklist including a selectable list of one or more studies, each study including a plurality of images, wherein selection of a study in the study worklist causes the medical imaging system to acquire the study from a medical imaging system database; and a data manager including one or more icons each associated with a clinical application identified by the medical imaging system as being appropriate for the selected study, wherein each clinical application is associated with at least one data set in the study generated from the plurality of images and identified by the medical imaging system from the one or more series as being suitable for the identified clinical applications. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A medical imaging system comprising:
-
a medical imaging system database that stores one or more studies each including a plurality of images; a processor that receives a request to view a study from an associated input device and accesses the medical imaging system database to acquire the requested study, the processor including a rule engine that executes a plurality of applications rules on image data from the acquired study, wherein the rule engine identifies one or more clinical applications that are appropriate for the study, and wherein the rule engine further identifies at least one data set from the plurality of images suited for each of the identified one or more clinical applications; and a display connected to the processor that displays a user interface including one or more icons each associated with one of the identified one or more clinical applications, wherein each of the one or more icons is selectable on the user interface with the input device to initialize the associated clinical application. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
