Composite imagery rendering in diminished reality environment for medical diagnosis

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a computer to cause the computer to:

• analyze medical imagery scans for a patient visiting a medical office for consultation with a physician for a diagnosis;
• obtain real-time images of the patient who is physically located in the medical office;
• create a composite image of the patient comprising relevant portions of the medical imagery scans combined with the real-time images of the patient;
• select one or more portions of the composite image to diminish for the diagnosis;
• and
• render the composite image in a diminished reality environment where obstructions are diminished to provide an unobstructed view of underlying objects relevant to the diagnosis, wherein one or more of the obstructions have some translucency in the medical imagery scans, and wherein the translucency of the one or more of the obstructions is further increased in the composite image rendered in the diminished reality environment while still retaining the one or more of the obstructions as a frame of reference.

A system comprising a processor, connected to a memory, that is operable to:

• analyze medical imagery scans for a patient visiting a medical office for consultation with a physician for a diagnosis;
• obtain real-time images of the patient who is physically located in the medical office;
• create a composite image of the patient comprising relevant portions of the medical imagery scans combined with the real-time images of the patient;
• select one or more portions of the composite image to diminish for the diagnosis;
• and
• render the composite image in a diminished reality environment where obstructions are diminished to provide an unobstructed view of underlying objects relevant to the diagnosis, wherein one or more of the obstructions have some translucency in the medical imagery scans, and wherein the translucency of the one or more of the obstructions is further increased in the composite image rendered in the diminished reality environment while still retaining the one or more of the obstructions as a frame of reference.
