US 2011/0235887 A1 · Computer-Aided Evaluation Of An Image Dataset

Abstract

A method and system for the diagnosis of 3D images are disclosed, which significantly cuts the time required for the diagnosis. The 3D images are for example an image volume dataset of a magnetic resonance tomography system which is saved in an RIS or PACS system. In at least one embodiment, the diagnostic finding are partially automatically generated, and details of the position, size and change in pathological structures are compared to previous diagnostic findings are generated automatically. As a result of this automation the diagnostic work of radiologists is significantly reduced.

Dependent claims

A method for the computer-aided evaluation of an image dataset, comprising:

generating the image dataset with the aid of a radiological examination device and saving it in an image database;
generating an evaluation for a pathological structure in the image dataset and saving it in an annotation database;
and
automatically determining, via a positioning module, a position of the pathological structure in relation to one or more anatomical structures and saving it in the annotation database.
