Claim:
1. A method for the computer-aided evaluation of an image dataset, comprising: generating an unannotated image dataset with the aid of a radiological examination device and saving the image dataset in an image database; selecting a pathological structure in the image data set for evaluation; generating a report including a description of appearance and position of a pathological structure and changes in the pathological structure in the image dataset and saving the report in an annotation database without user input; and automatically determining, via a positioning module, a position of the evaluated pathological structure in relation to one or more anatomical structures and saving the position in the annotation database in an updated report without user input, wherein automatically combining the determined position of the pathological structure, the determined change in the pathological structure and the determined attribute of the pathological structure and therefrom generating and outputting a computer analyzable report in a structured form without user input, the report including at least one of diagnostic findings based on the combination of determined position of the pathological structure, the determined change in the pathological structure and the determined attribute of the pathological structure and a graph of changes of pathological structures; and wherein a request for the report is received from a Radiology Information System (RIS) or Hospital Information System (HIS) system and contains request parameters, wherein by way of at least one request parameter an anatomical region in a saved image data set is defined for the evaluation, and wherein an image parser identifies only anatomical structures which lie in the anatomical region and the report is generated for the requested parameter.
