Workstations primarily used for post-processing medical images such as 3D renderings.

"An IHE Affinity Domain is a group of healthcare enterprises that have agreed to work together using a common set of policies and share a common infrastructure."

Two workers communicate asychronously when they do not neeed to be simultaneously available.

Evaluation of learning based on real-world tasks.

The automatic transmission ("routing") of image datasets from the modalities to remote destinations based on predefined rules (e.g.autoroute all abdomen CT exams to the abdomen reading room workstations").

The maximum amount of data that can be transmitted over a medium, usually measured in bits per second.

The most frequent task that is performed. Workflow design should address the base case first and foremost, even if less frequently utilized workflows are made less efficient.

The assignment of a meaningful name like "lung" to a group of pixels or voxels.

Compression reduces the volume of data to reduce image processing, transmission times, bandwidth requirements, and storage needs.

It allows for reconstruction of exact orginial data before compression without loss of information.

It uses the methods that lose data one the image has been compressed and uncompressed.

A vendor neutral, monitored and controlled, testing even where vendors can test their systems IHE interoperability with other vendors.

The multiplication of a neighborhood of pixels by a "kernel". Each value in the kernel is the number by which the corresponding neighborhood pixel is multiplied. If all the values in the kernel are "1", the result is the mean.

CPT coded are used to precisely classify medical, surgical, and diagnostic services and procedures.

A graphical interface that summerizes input from many sources into a small visual area that can be quickly understood.
