Method for utilization of computer-assisted diagnosis tools

Abstract

A computer-assisted diagnosis method and system for assisting doctors in diagnosis of patient aliments includes providing the computer-assisted diagnosis algorithm at a central location and providing client software at a doctor's or user's location for communication with the central location. Image data sets are communicated from the doctor's or user's client software to the computer-assisted diagnosis software at the central location so that a diagnosis can be performed by the computer-assisted diagnosis algorithm. The diagnosis of the diagnosis algorithm is provided to the user or doctor which is incorporated in the doctor's analysis to provide a final diagnosis to the patient. The final diagnosis is provided back to the central location of the computer-assisted diagnosis algorithm for improvement of the algorithm.
