Abstract
An interactive user interface (UI) for managing digital medical images is disclosed. The UI includes a first display panel for displaying more than one of the digital medical images and a point on each digital medical image located in associated regions for stitching pairs of the digital medical images together, and a second display panel for displaying a composite image comprising the stitched digital medical images. The UI provides means for a user to modify the location of the points and means for applying an algorithm to regenerate the composite image in response to the location of the points.

An interactive user interface (UI) for managing digital medical images, comprising:
- a first display panel for displaying more than one of the digital medical images and a point on each digital medical image located in associated regions for stitching pairs of the digital medical images together,
- a second display panel for displaying a composite image comprising the stitched digital medical images;
- means for a user to modify the location of the points;
- and
- means for applying an algorithm to regenerate the composite image in response to the location of the points.
A method for managing digital medical images, comprising:
- selecting one of the digital medical images or a composite medical image comprising the digital medical images;
- selecting a stitching region of the composite medical image to display more than one of the digital medical images in a first display panel and to display the composite image in a second display panel;
- allowing modification of display size, location, and intensity of the digital medical images in the first display panel and the composite image in the second display panel;
- locating a point within each stitching region associated with a pair of the digital medical images, the stitching region of each image having common image attributes;
- regenerating the composite image based on the location of the corresponding points.
