Image-assisted diagnostic evaluation

A method of supporting image-assisted diagnostic evaluation from a computer system, comprising:

• automatically recording in a look-up table, relating to an imaging examination, at least one location of at least one treated site in association with imaging parameters used in acquiring a treatment image of a portion of patient anatomy, wherein the treatment image includes the at least one location of the at least one treated site, wherein the look-up table associates the imaging parameters with the treatment image and the location of the at least one treated site;
• automatically associating the image parameters with the indication of the at least one location;
• using the recorded imaging parameters in the look-up table to set parameters for acquisition, during a follow-up examination, of a follow-up image of the portion of the patient anatomy;
• and
• evaluating treatment results by setting the treatment image to a predetermined transparency, overlaying the treatment image over the follow-up image, and comparing the follow-up image with the treatment image.

A non-transitory computer readable medium embodying a program of instructions executable by machine to perform steps for supporting image-assisted diagnostic evaluation, the steps comprising:

• automatically recording in a look-up table, relating to an imaging examination, at least one location of at least one treated site in association with imaging parameters used in acquiring a treatment image of a portion of patient anatomy, wherein the treatment image includes the at least one location of the at least one treated site, wherein the look-up table associates the imaging parameters with the treatment image and the location of the at least one treated site;
• automatically associating the imaging parameters with the indication of the at least one location;
• using the recorded imaging parameters in the look-up table to set parameters for acquisition, during a follow-up examination, of a follow-up image of the portion of the patient anatomy;
• and
• evaluating treatment results by setting the treatment image to a predetermined transparency, overlaying the treatment image over the follow-up image, and comparing the follow-up image with the treatment image.
