Abstract
A digital image representation of a radiological image is acquired and applied to a display device connected to a computer and displayed. A measurement scheme is retrieved from the computer and activated. Measurements are performed on the displayed image under guidance of the activated measurement scheme.
Claims15
A method of performing geometric measurements on a radiological image comprising the steps of
- acquiring a digital image representation of said radiological image,
- applying said digital image representation to a display device connected to a computer and displaying said image,
- activating a measurement scheme that has been stored in said computer, said measurement scheme comprising a graphical part representing a relation between measurement entities and anatomy present in said radiological image and an internal part representing functional dependencies between said measurement entities;
- said graphical part and said internal part being bi-directionally linked,
- performing measurements on said displayed image, said measurements being guided by the activated measurement scheme.
