Method and system for a customized patient report in imaging systems
First Claim
1. An apparatus for generating a customized patient report comprising:
- a memory for storing a plurality of patient specific attributes and a plurality of user defined rules, said attributes including patient specific medical image data;
a stored program configured to apply a rule to a corresponding attribute, said stored program configured to allow an end user to at least one of create, edit, and add at least one of said attributes and said user defined rules;
a processor operating with said stored program for processing to establish a conclusion to said rule; and
an output device configured to generate the customized patient report having said conclusion in text format.

Abstract
A method and system for associating medical imaging data with a customized patient report. The system includes a memory for storing a plurality of patient specific attributes and a plurality of user defined rules, the attributes include patient specific medical image data. A stored program is configured to apply a rule to a corresponding attribute and allow an end user to at least one of create, edit, and add at least one of the attributes and the user defined rules. A processor operates with the stored program for processing to establish a conclusion to the rule. An output device is included and configured to generate the customized patient report having the conclusion in text format. The text in the conclusion is also end user configurable.
