Method for controlling an evaluation device for medical images of patient, evaluation device, computer program and electronically readable storage medium

An evaluation device, comprising:

• a database interface to at least one image database, wherein medical images of patients acquired at different time points are stored in the at least one image database;
• an input unit to receive a command from a user, the command being associated with a time-dependent evaluation command including at least one evaluation parameter describing an evaluation to be performed and including identification information describing a patient;
• a retrieval unit to retrieve medical images of the patient from the at least one image database, the medical images fulfilling a relevancy criterion dependent on the at least one evaluation parameter and being medical images acquired at different time points;
• a registration unit to register the medical images retrieved to other of the medical images retrieved;
• a compilation unit to derive a composite evaluation image data set including a time series of evaluation images from the medical images registered;
• and
• an output unit to output to the user, the composite evaluation image data set derived.

An evaluation device, comprising:

• a memory, storing machine-executable code and storing at least one image database;
• and
• at least one processor, coupled to the memory, for executing the machine-executable code stored on the memory to configure the at least one processor to:
• acquire medical images of patients, via a database interface, at different time points and storing the medical images acquired in the at least one image database;
• receive a command from a user, the command being associated with a time-dependent evaluation command including at least one evaluation parameter describing an evaluation to be performed and including identification information describing a patient;
• retrieve medical images of the patient from the at least one image database, the medical images fulfilling a relevancy criterion dependent on the at least one evaluation parameter and being medical images acquired at different time points;
• register the medical images retrieved to other of the medical images retrieved;
• derive a composite evaluation image data set including a time series of evaluation images from the medical images registered;
• and
• output to the user, the composite evaluation image data set derived.
