A method for generating billing statements using information relating to
patient identification and film images from patients. The method provides
a billing output from a CAD system including the steps of performing a
processing operation on patient cases with a CAD system and identifying a
status associated with the output of the CAD system. The CAD processing
status is computed and stored for each case in association with the
patient information. A database storing the joint information provides an
efficient method for generating billing statements.
