Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for manipulating image annotations. One method includes receiving an image of an individual's anatomy; automatically determining, using a processor, one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy; determining a dependency or hierarchy between at least two of the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy; and generating, based on the dependency or hierarchy, a workflow prompting a user to manipulate the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method of manipulating image annotations, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of an individual's anatomy;
- automatically determining, using a processor, one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy;
- determining a dependency or hierarchy between at least two of the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy;
- and
- generating, based on the dependency or hierarchy, a workflow prompting a user to manipulate the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy.
A system for manipulating image annotations, the system comprising:
- a data storage device storing instructions for identifying image acquisition parameters;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
- receiving an image of an individual's anatomy;
- automatically determining, using a processor, one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy;
- determining a dependency or hierarchy between at least two of the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy;
- and
- generating, based on the dependency or hierarchy, a workflow prompting a user to manipulate the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy.
A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for performing a method of manipulating image annotations, the method comprising:
- receiving an image of an individual's anatomy;
- automatically determining, using a processor, one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy;
- determining a dependency or hierarchy between at least two of the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy;
- and
- generating, based on the dependency or hierarchy, a workflow prompting a user to manipulate the one or more annotations for anatomical features identified in the image of the individual's anatomy.
