Web-based report functionality and layout for diagnostic imaging decision support

摘要

A method and a system for providing remote access to scanner utilization or diagnostic imaging reports generated by a computer system having access to a database of collected scanner operational data. Preferably, the reports are delivered over a wide-area network, e.g. the Internet, in response to requests for access from customers. In particular, the system includes a graphical user interface which allows the user to specify all of the report content parameters and display the report on a single screen. The report content parameters section of the screen allows the user to identify the facility, organization area (i.e., department), equipment, time dimension, time frame, metrics and data slices that the user wants included in the report. The report produced will contain the information currently in the database, which information is updated daily.
