Claim One:
1. A method for providing a networked system of computer training stations, the method comprising: providing an image processing server that includes an image processing training system, the image processing training system having at least one medical image associated with a medical image processing training course (MIPTC), including: capturing the at least one medical image by a medical imaging device so that the at least one medical image includes a view of an internal organ or structure of a body captured by the medical imaging device in image slices that are combined to form the at least one medical image, and storing the at least one medical image by a storage associated with the image processing server; providing a first computer training station, the first computer training station implemented by a first client device and a first display, including: displaying by the first client device, in a first display area of the first display, the at least one medical image stored by the storage associated with the image processing server, providing, by the first client device within a second display area of the first display, a first workflow template of a plurality of workflow templates stored in the image processing server: wherein the first workflow template is provided based on a role or an access privilege of a first user, wherein the first workflow template comprises a representation of a predefined set of workflow stages associated with a type of medical diagnosis or processing, and wherein each workflow stage defines one or more image processing operations and includes one or more user selectable image processing tools to allow users to measure a diameter, an area, a distance, or a volume of a body part within the medical image displayed in the first display area, providing, by the first client device, an instruction associated with a currently displayed workflow stage of the first workflow template, the instruction requesting the first user to perform a quantitative determination on at least a portion of the body part within the medical image displayed in the first display area and to perform the one or more image processing operations on the medical image using the one or more user selectable image processing tools provided by the currently displayed workflow stage on the first client device, transmitting, from the first client device to the image processing server, a user action input performed by the first user using the one or more of the image processing tools in response to performing the requested quantitative determination and the one or more image processing operations, wherein the user action invokes the image processing server to perform the quantitative determination based on a determined type of user action performed by the first user, receiving, by the first client device from the image processing server, a quantitative value as a result of the image processing server performing the quantitative determination, and comparing, by the first client device, the quantitative value to a predefined model answer associated with the medical image to determine a score evaluating the quantitative determination performed by the first user, and displaying, by the first client device, the score on the first display; and, providing a second computer training station, the second computer training station implemented by a second client device and a second display, including: providing, by the second client device and within a second display area of the first display, a second workflow template of the plurality of workflow templates stored in the image processing server, wherein the second workflow template is provided based on a role or an access privilege of a second user.
