Abstract
A method of generating a visual representation of a complex medical diagnosis includes receiving a first signal corresponding to a measurement of a patient biological condition. A second signal corresponding to a measurement of a patient performance condition is also received. The first and second signals are processed and a visual representation of a diagnostic assessment is generated. The diagnostic assessment is based at least in part on the patient biological condition and the patient performance condition. The visual representation is marked with the measurement of the patient biological condition and the measurement of the patient performance condition.
Claims14
A method comprising:
- performing a dual energy x-ray absorptiometry scan of at least a portion of a patient using a dual-energy absorptiometry system to acquire a plurality of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry data;
- receiving a signal corresponding to a functional performance indicator of the patient;
- accessing from a computer database at least one population dataset;
- computer-processing the plurality of dual energy x-ray absorptiometry data and the signal corresponding to the functional performance indicator to obtain a comparison to the at least one population data set;
- and
- generating a visual representation of the comparison indexed against the at least one population data set, the visual representation including a curve illustrating the comparison to the at least one population dataset, the curve plotting dual energy x-ray absorptiometry data with respect to the functional performance indicator.
