1. A method, comprising:
- receiving, by a user interface, criteria for determining whether a present case is a special case, the criteria comprising qualitative characteristics and quantitative values corresponding to at least some of the qualitative characteristics,wherein the present case comprises at least one medical image;
determining, by a computer processor, at least one quantitative value corresponding to at least one qualitative characteristic of the present case,wherein the at least one qualitative characteristic of the present case relates to at least one morphological feature of the at least one medical image, and the at least one quantitative value relates to at least one measurement of the at least one morphological feature;
determining, by the computer processor, whether the present case is the special case by;
comparing the at least one qualitative characteristic and determined at least one quantitative value of the present case to the criteria, andcomparing the determined at least one quantitative value to a statistical significance threshold,wherein the statistical significance threshold comprises a predetermined value;
receiving input from the user verifying that the present case is the special case; and
when the user verifies that the present case is the special case, saving the present case, including contents of the present case, to a database containing a compilation of cases, the database comprising an individualized database and a general database,wherein the present case is saved to the individualized database only when the at least one qualitative characteristic and determined at least one quantitative value match or exceed the criteria,wherein the present case is saved to the general database only when the determined at least one quantitative value matches or exceeds the statistical significance threshold.

Abstract
A system and method for context-dependent data filtering for clinical decision support are disclosed. The system and method comprise determining values for characteristics of a present case, determining whether the present case is a special case based on the determined values, receiving input from a user verifying that the present case is the special case and saving the present case to a database containing a compilation of cases if the user verifies that the present case is the special case.

1. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a user interface, criteria for determining whether a present case is a special case, the criteria comprising qualitative characteristics and quantitative values corresponding to at least some of the qualitative characteristics, wherein the present case comprises at least one medical image; determining, by a computer processor, at least one quantitative value corresponding to at least one qualitative characteristic of the present case, wherein the at least one qualitative characteristic of the present case relates to at least one morphological feature of the at least one medical image, and the at least one quantitative value relates to at least one measurement of the at least one morphological feature; determining, by the computer processor, whether the present case is the special case by; comparing the at least one qualitative characteristic and determined at least one quantitative value of the present case to the criteria, and comparing the determined at least one quantitative value to a statistical significance threshold, wherein the statistical significance threshold comprises a predetermined value; receiving input from the user verifying that the present case is the special case; and when the user verifies that the present case is the special case, saving the present case, including contents of the present case, to a database containing a compilation of cases, the database comprising an individualized database and a general database, wherein the present case is saved to the individualized database only when the at least one qualitative characteristic and determined at least one quantitative value match or exceed the criteria, wherein the present case is saved to the general database only when the determined at least one quantitative value matches or exceeds the statistical significance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8)

9. A system, comprising:
-
a non-transitory memory storing an individualized database comprising a compilation of cases and a general database comprising a compilation of cases; and a processing device receiving criteria for determining whether a present case is a special case, the criteria comprising qualitative characteristics and quantitative values corresponding to at least some of the qualitative characteristics, wherein the present case comprises at least one medical image; determining at least one quantitative value corresponding to at least one qualitative characteristic of the present case, wherein the at least one qualitative characteristic of the present case relates to at least one morphological feature of the at least one medical image, and the at least one quantitative value relates to at least one measurement of the at least one morphological feature; determining whether the present case is the special case by comparing the at least one qualitative characteristic and determined at least one quantitative value of the present case to the criteria, and comparing the determined at least one quantitative value to a statistical significance threshold, wherein the statistical significance threshold comprises a predetermined value; receiving input from the user verifying the present case is the special case and, when the user verifies that the present case is the special case, saving the present case, including contents of the present case, to the non-transitory memory, wherein the present case is saved to the individualized database only when the at least one qualitative characteristic and determined at least one quantitative value match or exceed the criteria, wherein the present case is saved to the general database only when the determined at least one quantitative value matches or exceeds the statistical significance threshold. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
