A technique is disclosed for providing problem and solution information,
such as that relating to a particular application or protocol, to medical
diagnostic institutions and systems. The information is created and
stored on machine readable media. A user may enter a problem query at a
user interface at the diagnostic institution or system and search a
database of information located at a centralized service facility. A list
of solutions to the query is displayed at the diagnostic institution. The
user may then select and display a desired solution from the user
interface. The particular solution may include textual and exemplary
image descriptions of the solution. Moreover, additional links may be
provided to access other related sources of information. The information
stored on the machine readable media may be easily updated by adding new
case problems and associated solutions as well as new solutions to
existing case problems.
