Abstract
A method is described for evaluating a tomography data record. In at least one embodiment, a tomography data record of a hollow organ is generated, the tomography data record is analyzed automatically, and organ sections to be assessed as critical are determined. Further, a corresponding findings list entry is generated in a findings list as a reaction to a determined organ section to be assessed as critical, various organ sections are displayed successively on the basis of the tomography data record, and after its first display, an organ section assessed as critical can be selected for renewed display directly via the findings list. Furthermore, a corresponding tomography workstation is described.
Claims17
A method for evaluating a tomography data record, comprising:
- generating a tomography data record of a hollow organ;
- automatically analyzing the tomography data record and determining organ sections to be assessed as critical;
- generating a corresponding findings list entry in a findings list upon determining an organ section to be assessed as critical;
- successively displaying various organ sections on the basis of the generated tomography data record;
- and
- rendering an organ section assessed as critical, after first display, as selectable for renewed display directly via the findings list.
A tomography workstation, comprising:
- an interface for receiving tomography data records;
- an output interface to an output device;
- an input interface to an input device;
- and
- a computing device, set up in such a way that
- a tomography data record, obtained via the interface, is analyzed automatically, and organ sections to be assessed as critical are determined,
- a corresponding findings list entry is generated in a findings list as a reaction to a determined organ section to be assessed as critical,
- various organ sections are displayed successively on the output device via the output interface on the basis of the tomography data record, and
- after first display, an organ section assessed as critical is selectable for renewed display directly via the findings list.
A tomography workstation for evaluating a tomography data record, comprising:
- means for generating a tomography data record of a hollow organ;
- means for automatically analyzing the tomography data record and determining organ sections to be assessed as critical;
- means for generating a corresponding findings list entry in a findings list upon determining an organ section to be assessed as critical;
- means for successively displaying various organ sections on the basis of the generated tomography data record;
- and
- means for rendering an organ section assessed as critical, after first display, as selectable for renewed display directly via the findings list.
