method for distributing an image study, method for scheduling the distribution of image studies, image distribution system, computer reading medium incorporating a computer program. A method for distributing an image study to a chosen image reader with the steps of receiving an image study from an image producer in a third communication module, sending a receipt notification message from a third communication module is described. For a message layer, send an available study notification message from the message layer to a workload distribution mechanism, and the available notification message includes information extracted from the study image taken from the study principles of the study. identify image study rules from the information extracted from the image study, apply an image study complexity to the image study based on the image study rules, calculate the image reader complexity for a plurality of image readers designated to receive image studies from the image producer, with each image Image reader complexity is calculated using image study complexity and an image reader profile assigned to one of the plurality of credited image readers, select the chosen image reader from the plurality of image readers based on the complexities from the image reader, assign the image study to the chosen image reader, and display the image study in a user interface for the chosen image reader.
