ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is disclosed for automatically detecting salient features in medical image data. The apparatus includes a memory device for storing the image data, at least one determination module for determining one or more anatomical regions which are acquired by the image data, a number of different examination modules that respectively include an application for automatically detecting specific salient features in a specific anatomical region, an input unit via which a primary application can be started, a control unit that on the basis of the anatomical regions determined by the determination module automatically selects and executes in the background further applications, as well as an output unit on which the result of the primary application is displayed together with an item of information relating to additional salient features that have been detected automatically with the aid of the applications executed in the background. The apparatus improves the diagnostic evaluation of medical image data.
