System and method for review in studies including toxicity and risk assessment studies
Systems and methods for reviewing and managing toxicology and risk assessment studies, including the reviewing of specimen images.
1 . A system for a toxicology and risk assessment study, comprising:
a storage device to store a specimen image and study data related to the specimen image; and
a processor that executes instructions and thereby causes the processor to associate the specimen image with the study data.
2 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the study data comprises primary review findings.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the study data further comprises peer review findings.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the study data comprises quantification information.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the study data comprises user activity associated with the toxicology and risk assessment study.
6 . The system of claim 5 , wherein the user activity was obtained by an audit.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the study data comprises one or more parameters for the toxicology and risk assessment study.
8 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters comprises a sex of an animal from which the specimen was taken.
9 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters comprises a dosage group.
10 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters comprises a species type.
11 . The system of claim 7 , wherein the one or more parameters comprises a specimen type.
12 . The system of claim 11 , wherein the specimen type is tissue.
13 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the processor is further caused to associate an other toxicology and risk assessment study with the specimen image and the study data.
14 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the association of the other toxicology and risk assessment study comprises association of an other specimen image and other study data from the other toxicology and risk assessment study.
15 . The system of claim 13 , wherein the other toxicology and risk assessment study is associated by execution of a search request.
16 . An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium that includes instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
associate a specimen image with toxicology and risk assessment study data related to the specimen image;
designate a user as a reviewer; and
designate a portion of the study data as inaccessible by the user.
17 . The article of manufacture of claim 16 , wherein the reviewer is a primary reviewer.
18 . The article of manufacture of claim 16 , wherein the reviewer is a peer reviewer.
19 . The article of manufacture of claim 18 , wherein the study data comprises primary review findings.
20 . The article of manufacture of claim 16 , wherein the portion of the study data comprises a dosage group.
21 . The article of manufacture of claim 16 , wherein the portion of the study data comprises an annotation.
22 . An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium that includes instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
associate a multiplicity of images of specimens, at least two of the images being from different dosage groups of a toxicology and risk assessment study; and
display the at least two images from the different dosage groups to a user simultaneously.
23 . The article of manufacture of claim 22 , wherein the user is a primary reviewer.
24 . The article of manufacture of claim 22 , wherein the user is a peer reviewer.
25 . An article of manufacture comprising a computer readable medium that includes instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
associate a multiplicity of images of specimens of a toxicology and risk assessment study, at least one of the images being from a dosage group and at least one other of the images being from a control group; and
display the at least one image from the control group and the at least one other image from the control group to a user simultaneously.
26 . The article of manufacture of claim 25 , wherein the user is a primary reviewer.
27 . The article of manufacture of claim 25 , wherein the user is a peer reviewer.
28 . A system for a toxicology and risk assessment study, comprising:
means for storing a specimen image and study data related to the specimen image; and
means for associating the specimen image and the study data.
29 . The system of claim 28 , further comprising means for displaying at least a portion of the specimen image and the study data.
