Postprocessing of medical images (e.g., MRI and CT images) can be facilitated by a variety of techniques, including training methods which include modular organization and/or online presentation, postprocessing protocols which can be used to specify activities which can be predictably and consistently performed by technologists, and deployment of thin client image processing technology. Additional beneficial results relative to what is possible with the prior art can be obtained by combining one or more of the above approaches.
