Abstract:
A system and method for electronically displaying CAD results are disclosed. In one exemplary embodiment, a flat panel display is attached to a film multi-viewer via an articulated arm that allows a radiologist to position the flat panel display with respect to the multi-viewer. A barcode scanner is mounted to the back of the display, allowing case identifiers on CAD hardcopy printouts to be read in order to indicate which results are to be viewed. A small embedded computer is mounted with or near the flat panel display and the barcode scanner, and retrieves CAD results from a remote CAD server when a case identifier is read by the barcode scanner. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
