Abstract
A method for displaying computer aided detection markers from a digitized image includes marking a first set of locations of interest during a first read of the image, producing a first set of markers, receiving a second set of markers of locations of interest on the image from the CAD algorithm, combining the first set of markers with the second set of markers, sorting the combined set of markers according to a predetermined criteria; and presenting the sorted set of markers to a user for a second read of said image.
Claims32
A method for displaying computer aided detection markers from a digitized image comprising the steps of:
- providing a digitized image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on a 3-dimensional grid;
- marking a first set of locations of interest during a first read of said image, producing a first set of markers;
- receiving a second set of markers of locations of interest on said image from said CAD algorithm;
- combining said first set of markers with said second set of markers;
- sorting said combined set of markers according to a predetermined criteria;
- and
- presenting said sorted set of markers to a user for a second read of said image.
A method for displaying computer aided detection markers from a digitized image comprising the steps of:
- providing a digitized image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on a n-dimensional grid;
- performing a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm on said image to produce a first set of markers of locations of interest on said image;
- receiving from storage a second set of markers of locations of interest on said image;
- sorting said first set of markers according to whether said first markers are includes in said second set of markers;
- and
- presenting said sorted set of markers to a user for performing a diagnosis based on said sorted set of markers.
A program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform the method steps for displaying computer aided detection markers from a digitized image comprising the steps of:
- providing a digitized image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on a 3-dimensional grid;
- marking a first set of locations of interest during a first read of said image, producing a first set of markers;
- receiving a second set of markers of locations of interest on said image from said CAD algorithm;
- combining said first set of markers with said second set of markers;
- sorting said combined set of markers according to a predetermined criteria;
- and
- presenting said sorted set of markers to a user for a second read of said image.
