Medical information system for intensive care unit

摘要

A method for longitudinal tracking of a patient in a critical care facility. A first diagnostic image at a time t1 is obtained, taken using a first set of imaging parameters. At least a portion of the first set of imaging parameters is stored. A second diagnostic image is obtained at a time t2, later than time t1, using a second set of imaging parameters. At least a portion of the second set of imaging parameters is stored. First and second diagnostic images are of substantially the same body tissue. A region of interest is identified from either the first or second diagnostic image. A computer aided diagnostic process executes for a portion of the region of interest on each of the first and second diagnostic images. Results of the computer aided diagnostic process are compared.
