Abstract
A graphical user interface is provided which allows the user to perform numerous operations suitable for analysis of in-vivo images within a single display screen or a single window. Using the the-vivo GUI, the user may create and manipulate analysis tools such as rectangle and ellipse tools to define regions of interest and perform various measurements on an in-vivo image. In addition, the GUI allows the user to store measurement results in a dated electronic notebook, display testing information, manipulate image presentation and print while maintaining view of the image.
Claims26
A computer system capable of displaying and analyzing an image, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- one or more user input devices;
- a display capable of displaying the image and associated information in particular ways responsive to input signals from one or more of the input devices and signals from one or more of the processors, wherein the image comprises a photographic representation of an object superimposed with a light emitting representation of the object, the light emitting representation corresponding to the location and magnitude of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object;
- and
- a graphical user interface running on one or more of the processors and providing, on a single display window, the image and one or more tools for defining a region of interest on the image, wherein when a user uses one of the tools to define a region of interest, the computer system can calculate information about a portion of the image within the defined region of interest.
A method implemented on a computer system, the method analyzing a region of interest on an image presented on a display associated with the computer system, the method comprising:
- defining a region of interest on the image by selecting a region of interest tool from a user interface presented on the display such that the region of interest tool and the image are concurrently displayed on the display, wherein the image comprises a photographic representation of an object superimposed with a light emitting representation of the object, the light emitting representation corresponding to the location and magnitude of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object;
- and
- calculating a property of the image within the region of interest.
A computer program product comprising a computer readable medium and program instructions provided via the computer readable medium, the program instructions comprising instructions for analyzing a region of interest on an image presented on a display associated with the computer system, the instructions specifying:
- defining a region of interest on the image by selecting a region of interest tool from a user interface presented on the display such that the region of interest tool and the image are concurrently displayed on the display, wherein the image comprises a photographic representation of an object superimposed with a light emitting representation of the object, the light emitting representation corresponding to the location and magnitude of electromagnetic radiation emitted from the object;
- and
- calculating a property of the image within the region of interest.
