Abstract
Disclosed herein is a system and method for providing remotely accessible medical image data. The system and method allows for increased accuracy and semi-quantitative or fully quantitative data from images by enabling the remote user to select regions of interest on a compressed image, and then conducting quantitative analysis on original images at a central location.
Claims18
A method of providing to remote users a quantitative analysis of image data comprising:
- providing an image database that is accessible remotely by a remote user, wherein said image database comprises a plurality of non-compressed 2D images from an anatomical location;
- presenting to said remote user an option of selecting an image or images from a selection of low-resolution images pertaining to a specific geometric perspective of said anatomical location;
- displaying to said remote user a compressed image corresponding to a low-resolution image selected by said remote user;
- presenting to said remote user the option of selecting a region of interest in said corresponding to a low-resolution image selected by said remote user;
- and
- presenting to said remote user the option of selecting a region of interest in said compressed image selected by said remote user;
- and, optionally,
- calculating pixel value statistics of a selected region of interest;
- and
- providing to said remote user said pixel value statistics.
A remotely interactive medical image management and viewing system comprising:
- a database comprising a plurality of non-compressed 2D medical images;
- a processor;
- and
- a computer program product comprising
- a computer readable first program code module for causing said processor to display to a remote user a selection of low-resolution images of said plurality of non-compressed images;
- a computer readable second program code module for causing said processor to present to said remote user an option to select at least one of said selection of low-resolution images;
- a computer readable third program code module for causing said processor to display to said remote user a compressed image corresponding to a low-resolution image selected by said remote user;
- a computer readable fourth program code module for causing said processor to present an option of selecting a region of interest of said selected compressed image;
- and
- a computer readable fifth program code module for causing said processor to present an option to said remote user of annotating said selected compressed image.
A remotely interactive medical image management and viewing system comprising:
- a database comprising a plurality of non-compressed 2D medical images;
- a processor;
- and
- a computer program product comprising
- a computer readable first program code module for causing said processor to create a 3D preview image based on at least a subset of said 2D medical images but having a lower resolution and/or size than base non-compressed 2D medical images;
- a computer readable second program code module for causing said processor to display to a remote user said 3D preview image;
- a computer readable third program module for causing said 3D preview image to rotate upon input from said remote user;
- and
- a computer readable fourth program code module for causing said processor to create a virtual-section of said 3D in any plane as selected by said remote user.
