Abstract
Systems and methods for generating images of respective patients from multi-dimensional medical image data sets include a processor circuit in communication with a display having a graphic user interface (GUI), the processor circuit configured to define at least one grouping of a subset of slices selected from slices in a medical data stack, then generate and display at least one slabbed view based on the at least one grouping of slices.
Claims22
An interactive visualization system for generating images of respective patients from multi-dimensional medical image data sets, comprising:
- a processor circuit in communication with a display having a graphic user interface (GUI), the processor circuit configured to define at least one grouping of a subset of slices selected from slices in a medical data stack, then generate and display at least one view of a part of the data set within a volumetric region defined by the at least one grouping of slices.
A method of generating views of medical data, comprising:
- electronically generating groups of slices from a stack of slices;
- combining pixel values associated with a common position in each slice of a respective group;
- and
- generating slabbed views, one for each of the respective grouped slices, based on the combined pixel values.
A processor circuit for generating medical diagnostic views of a tomosynthesis stack of mammography patient image data, wherein the circuit is configured to communicate with a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with a client workstation to accept user input to interact with the image data to generate desired views of the image data, and wherein the circuit is configured to define groups of slices and to generate slabbed views of breast tissue and allow a user to browse the slabbed views.
A computer program product for providing physician interactive access to patient medical data for rendering diagnostic medical images, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied in the medium, the computer-readable program code comprising:
- computer readable program code configured to define groups of slices of a medical image data stack together;
- and
- computer readable program code configured to generate a respective slabbed view for each of the groups of slices.
