Abstract

We present a novel image navigation methodology for PACS viewing stations to handle very high volume studies efficiently. This methodology is based on the `customizable folder' concept in which a scaleable electronic worklist is formulated according to the prefetching algorithm based on radiologist's preference and the `virtual panel' concept which provides a virtually unlimited screen space on the station. Furthermore, the `moving strips paradigm' is presented to serve as an efficient `browsing' method to allow rapid and random access to a selection of studies and a `pre-handing procedure' during the formation of an electronic worklist. Finally, the advantages and applications of such methodology are presented.
