Abstract
Generally, the present disclosure is directed to managing and storing patient data in a multi-modality medical processing system. The method and systems described herein store all medical data acquired from a patient in a single patient record that is assigned a unique identifier. For example, (i) information identifying a patient, (ii) data acquired during a first diagnostic procedure, and (iii) data acquired during a second, different diagnostic procedure may all be stored in association with the same unique identifier, so as to simplify patient case review and retrieval. As an aspect of this, identifying patient information such as patient name and date of birth need only be inputted into the disclosed system a single time, thereby reducing the chance of clerical error.
