1. A computer-implemented method for operating an evaluation system for medical image data sets, the method comprising:
receiving at least one input set comprising at least one image data set of a patient and at least one evaluation algorithm; and
evaluating, using the at least one evaluation algorithm, the at least one image data set to determine at least one evaluation information, wherein for each evaluation algorithm, requirement information including requirements regarding a quality of image data and a content of image data to be evaluated is provided or determined, the evaluating including,
analyzing each image data set of each input set to determine a suitability information regarding each evaluation algorithm of the input set, the suitability information indicating at least fulfilment or non-fulfilment of the requirements of the corresponding requirement information, and
at least one of,
(i) forwarding for evaluation to the at least one evaluation algorithm only at least one image data set whose suitability information indicates fulfilment of the requirements of the requirement information of the at least one evaluation algorithm, or
(ii) executing at least one of at least one user information action or image processing action for at least one evaluation algorithm of each input set whose associated suitability information all indicate non-fulfilment of the requirements of the requirement information,
wherein at least one of the at least one image data set of an input set or the at least one evaluation algorithm to be applied are automatically determined from at least one of an electronic health record or a picture archiving and communications system (PACS) entry of the respective patient.
