Patent attributes
A system uses a flexible mapping capability in adaptively exchanging image related data between a structured report data format and data formats employed by different types of image processing device. A system provides medical image associated measurement data from different types of imaging device in a particular report format data structure. The system includes an acquisition processor for acquiring measurement data associated with medical images produced by an examination of a particular patient using a particular type of imaging device. A repository of mapping information associates clinical terms used by multiple different types of imaging device with corresponding codes compatible with a particular report format data structure employed for providing an imaging examination report of a particular patient. A data processor uses the repository in converting clinical terms in the acquired measurement data provided using the particular type of imaging device to corresponding codes compatible with a particular report format data structure. The data processor processes the codes corresponding to the converted clinical terms as well as elements of the acquired measurement data for incorporation in the particular report format data structure.
