Patent ID: 8036434

Claim:
A method for selecting at least one post-processing method for post-processing measurement data, particularly medical measurement present in a format, the method comprising: registering, using a first processor, post-processing components to define, for each post-processing component, measurement data upon which post-processing components are based; acquiring context data, using a second processor, with respect to the measurement data; automatically parsing, using a third processor, the measurement data in connection with the acquired context data in accordance with the format for the measurement data; and automatically evaluating, using a fourth processor, the parsed data in dependence on the registered post-processing components, to select the at least one post-processing method which is optimally designed for the measurement data; and automatically selecting the at least one post-processing method for the measurement data, wherein a plurality of measurement data is collected and jointly processed from a plurality of different acquisition sources, and wherein the plurality of different measurement data from the plurality of different acquisition sources are simultaneously read in, parsed with context data and jointly processed to select the at least one post-processing method for a group of measurement data of the plurality of measurement data.
