- a processor capable of selecting a primary Study from a plurality of studies based on one or more characteristics selected from the group consisting of an anatomical location selected, an anatomical organ selected, an anatomical organ system selected, an anatomical tissue selected, a type of analysis selected, a type of condition selected, a type of treatment selected and a type of disease selected; and
one or more digital data processor devices capable of carrying out the steps including;
a. applying one or more Study Selection Rules to generate a plurality of second studies based on the one or more characteristics and one or more Digital Imaging and Communication in Medicine (DICOM) parameters from the primary Study, one or more Abstract Tags from the primary Study, one or more DICOM parameters from the plurality of second studies and one or more Abstract Tags from the plurality of second studies;
b. applying one or more Protocol Selection Rules to select a Display Protocol, where the one or more Protocol Selection Rules are based on the one or more characteristics and one or more DICOM parameters from the primary Study, one or more Abstract Tags from the primary Study, one or more DICOM parameters from the plurality of second studies and one or more Abstract Tags from the plurality of second studies;
c. applying one or more Image Set Rules to define a plurality of Image Sets from the plurality of second studies; and
d. displaying the plurality of Image Sets, where the one or more digital data processor devices load the plurality of Image Sets in one or more Viewports for display based on one or more of the one or more Protocol Selection Rules, and the one or more Image Set Rules.

Abstract
The invention provides, in some aspects, a system for implementing a rule derived basis to display image sets. In various embodiments of the invention, the selection of the images to be displayed, the layout of the images, as well as the rendering parameters and styles can be determined using a rule derived basis. In an embodiment of the present invention, the user is presented with images displayed based on their preferences without having to first manually adjust parameters.
