Abstract :
This paper discusses the development of a cross-platform, web accessible, vendor-independent database system capable of storing and comparing longitudinal tumor measurements for multiple tumors. This innovative system can create a comprehensive cumulative report that summarizes clinical findings and links to the original image studies, which will clinically enhance the workflow of oncologists. A case study on a pancreatic tumor data set with 524 tumor measurements and 134 patients is demonstrated.
