1. A medical diagnostic and data processing system, comprising:
- an arithmetic logic unit;
an imaging diagnostic device, connectable to the arithmetic logic unit;
a data memory to store data describing anatomical structures including lymph nodes, the arithmetic logic unit being set up programmatically to produce an automatic assignment between a lymph node recorded via the imaging diagnostic device and data describing the lymph node stored in the data memory; and
a display device configured to automatically display a selection list including a number of designations of lymph nodes is provided in the case of an ambiguity between an anatomical structure recorded with the aid of the imaging diagnostic device and designations of lymph nodes, whereinthe arithmetic logic unit is configured such that, in the event of user-controlled marking of a lymph node, an associated designation is inserted automatically and the associated designation is a name of the lymph node.

Abstract
A medical diagnostic and data processing system is disclosed. The system includes, in at least one embodiment, an arithmetic logic unit and an imaging diagnostic device that can be connected to the latter for data purposes, and a data memory in which data describing anatomical structures including lymph nodes are stored. The arithmetic logic unit is set up programmatically in such a way to produce an automatic assignment between a lymph node recorded by way of the imaging diagnostic device and data describing the lymph node that are stored in the data memory.

7. A method for processing diagnostic image data, comprising:
-
preparing, using an imaging diagnostic device, a first picture of a tissue in which at least one lymph node is located; storing the first picture in a data memory; preparing a second picture, via the imaging diagnostic device, at a later point in time; and automatically making an assignment between a lymph node identified in the second picture and the corresponding lymph node in the first picture, wherein in the event of a user-controlled marking of the lymph node, an associated designation is inserted automatically and the associated designation is a name of the lymph node, and an automatic display of a selection list including a number of designations of lymph nodes is provided in the case of an ambiguity between an anatomical structure recorded with the aid of the imaging diagnostic device and designations of lymph nodes. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19)

16. A system for processing diagnostic image data, comprising:
-
means for preparing a first picture of a tissue in which at least one lymph node is located and for preparing a second picture at a later point in time; means for storing the first picture in a data memory; means for automatically making an assignment between a lymph node identified in the second picture and the corresponding lymph node in the first picture; and means for automatically displaying a selection list including a number of designations of lymph nodes is provided in the case of an ambiguity between an anatomical structure recorded with the aid of the imaging diagnostic device and designations of lymph nodes, wherein the means for automatically making the assignment is configured such that, in the event of a user-controlled marking of the lymph node, an associated designation is inserted automatically and the associated designation is a name of the lymph node.
