Abstract
A method comprises the step of determining a minimum length of a lesion based on an imaging modality used to capture an image of the lesion and a slice thickness of the image, generating an extent cursor corresponding to the minimum size of the lesion, the extent cursor having a circular shape with a diameter corresponding to the minimum length and displaying the image of the lesion with the extent cursor positioned thereover.
Claims22
A method, comprising:
- determining a minimum length of a measurable lesion according to a selected standard based on an imaging modality used to capture an image of a lesion and a slice thickness of the image;
- generating an extent cursor conforming with the minimum length of the measurable lesion according to the selected standard, the extent cursor having a circular shape with a diameter corresponding to the minimum length;
- and
- displaying the image of a lesion with the extent cursor positioned thereover.
1 more element
A system for assessing lesions, comprising:
- a processor for determining a minimum length of a measurable lesion according to a selected standard based on an imaging modality used to capture an image of the lesion and a slice thickness of the image, the processor being further configured for generating an extent cursor conforming with the minimum length of the measurable lesion according to the selected standard, the extent cursor having a circular shape with a diameter corresponding to the minimum length and displaying the image of a lesion with the extent cursor positioned thereover.
