Abstract
A system and method for compiling a clinically logical medical dossier for a patient. A list of medical conditions can be determined for the patient. A plurality of medical imaging records for the patient can be identified, and each record can be assigned to one of the conditions. A timeline of condition-specific imaging records can then be generated for each condition. A condition can be selected and the timeline of condition-specific imaging records for the selected condition can then be displayed.

A method for compiling an electronic medical dossier by a client workstation comprising a processor and a user interface, the client workstation being remotely coupled to a medical imaging record database over a network, the method comprising:
- receiving, by the processor, a request for a condition list for a patient from the user interface of the client workstation;
- determining, by the processor, the condition list for the patient, the condition list comprising a plurality of condition markers, each condition marker representing a medical condition, wherein the plurality of condition markers includes a first condition marker and a second condition marker;
- retrieving, by the client workstation, the condition list from the medical imaging record database over the network;
- storing the condition list in the electronic medical dossier, the electronic medical dossier being configured to capture and log subsequent changes and updates to the condition list;
- displaying the condition list in the user interface through a display device of the client workstation;
- identifying, by the processor, a plurality of medical imaging records for the patient stored in the medical imaging record database, each medical imaging record having at least one medical image and an imaging date, and each medical imaging record being associated with a particular instance of an imaging procedure;
- determining, by the processor, at least one condition-specific imaging record for each of the first condition marker and the second condition marker by assigning each medical imaging record in the plurality of medical imaging records to one of the condition markers in the condition list;

- generating, by the processor, a timeline of condition-specific imaging records for each of the first condition marker and the second condition marker using the imaging date of the condition-specific imaging records for the first condition marker and the second condition marker, wherein each timeline of condition-specific imaging records defines a sequence of at least art of the plurality of thumbnail images corresponding to each of the at least one condition-specific imaging for the first condition marker and second condition marker, each thumbnail image is positioned in the corresponding sequence based on the imaging date corresponding to the condition-specific imaging record corresponding to that thumbnail image, and the timeline of condition-specific imaging records for each of the first condition marker and the second condition marker includes medical imaging records associated with a plurality of separate instances of imaging procedures;
- storing the timeline of condition-specific imaging records for each of the first condition marker and the second condition marker in the electronic medical dossier;
- receiving, by the processor, a selection of the first condition marker in the displayed condition list from the user interface of the client workstation;
- retrieving, by the processor, from the electronic medical dossier, in response to the receiving the selection of the first condition marker, the timeline of the condition-specific imaging records for the first condition marker;
- receiving, by the processor, a selection of the second condition marker in the displayed condition list from the user interface of the client workstation;
- retrieving, by the processor, from the electronic medical dossier, in response to receiving the selection of the second condition marker, the timeline of the condition-specific imaging records for the second condition marker;
- displaying both the timeline of the condition-specific imaging records for the first condition marker and the timeline of the condition-specific imaging records for the second condition marker concurrently on the display device of the client workstation;
- receiving, by the processor, a selection of a particular thumbnail image corresponding to a particular condition-specific imaging record from the user interface of the client workstation;
- and
- retrieving by the client workstation, the particular condition-specific imaging record from the medical imaging record database over the network.
