Abstract
A method is for comparing reference values in medical imaging processes of different medical imaging devices. In an embodiment, the method includes providing a data base of reference values, each reference value of the data base being assigned to a defined global identification specifying the medical imaging process; creating a label for the medical imaging process at a local medical imaging device using the defined global identification; and providing a mapping assigning a local identification to the defined global identification, for supporting the creation of the label for the medical imaging process.

A method for comparing reference values in medical imaging processes of different medical imaging devices, wherein a data base is available to a plurality of spatially separated local medical imaging devices, the method comprising:
- providing, by a configuration module, the data base with reference values, wherein each reference value of the reference values of the data base is assigned to a defined global identification specifying a medical imaging process of the medical imaging processes;
- creating a label for the medical imaging process at at least one of a local medical imaging device or a local workstation, by using the defined global identification specifying the medical imaging process;
- providing, by a mapping module, a mapping assigning a local identification to the defined global identification for supporting the creating of the label for the medical imaging process, wherein the data base is available to the plurality of spatial separated local medical imaging devices;
- and
- providing a graphical user interface configured to receive input of at least one among a set of benchmarking parameters, the at least one of the set of benchmarking parameters including at least one of a modality, a body region, a protocol or a patient age, and the input including a selection of a first interface area of the graphical user interface,
- wherein a benchmarking data set is created for a subset of local medical imaging devices by,
- assigning a classification value to each respective local medical imaging device among the subset of local medical imaging devices, and
- creating a benchmarking data set based on the classification value and the at least one among the set of benchmarking parameters input via the graphical user interface.
A system, comprising:
- at least one of a local medical imaging device or a local workstation, wherein a data base is available to several spatially separated local medical imaging devices, and wherein the system is configured to
- provide, by a configuration module, the data base with reference values, wherein each reference value of the reference values of the data base is assigned to a defined global identification specifying a medical imaging process of the medical imaging processes,
- create a label for the medical imaging process at at least one of a local medical imaging device or a local workstation, by using the defined global identification specifying the medical imaging process,
- provide, by a mapping module, a mapping adapted to assign a local identification to the defined global identification for supporting creation of the label for the medical imaging process, and
- provide a graphical user interface configured to receive input of at least one among a set of benchmarking parameters, the at least one of the set of benchmarking parameters including at least one of a modality, a body region, a protocol or a patient age, and the input including a selection of a first interface area of the graphical user interface,
- wherein a benchmarking data set is created for a subset of local medical imaging devices based on the at least one among the set of benchmarking parameters input via the graphical user interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program elements, readable and executable by a computer unit, that when executed by the computer unit, cause the computer unit to perform a method for comparing reference values in medical imaging processes of different medical imaging devices, wherein a data base is available to a plurality of spatially separated local medical imaging devices, the method comprising:
- providing, by a configuration module, the data base with reference values, wherein each reference value of the reference values of the data base is assigned to a defined global identification specifying a medical imaging process of the medical imaging processes;
- creating a label for the medical imaging process at at least one of a local medical imaging device or a local workstation, by using the defined global identification specifying the medical imaging process;
- providing, by a mapping module, a mapping assigning a local identification to the defined global identification for supporting the creating of the label for the medical imaging process, wherein the data base is available to the plurality of spatially separated local medical imaging devices;
- and
- providing a graphical user interface configured to receive input of at least one among a set of benchmarking parameters, the at least one of the set of benchmarking parameters including at least one of a modality, a body region, a protocol or a patient age, and the input including a selection of a first interface area of the graphical user interface,
- wherein a benchmarking data set is created for a subset of local medical imaging devices by,
- assigning a classification value to each respective local medical imaging device among the subset of local medical imaging devices, and
- creating a benchmarking data set based on the classification value and the at least one among the set of benchmarking parameters input via the graphical user interface.
