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.

A computer-implemented method of manipulating medical image annotations, the method comprising:
- producing a set of annotations for annotating anatomical features automatically identified by a processor within an image of at least a portion of an individual's anatomy;
- determining a sequence between at least two annotations of the set of annotations based on the anatomical features associated with each of the at least two annotations of the set of annotations, the anatomical features including one or more of an aorta, a vessel centerline, and a vessel lumen;
- determining one or more visualizations for each of the at least two annotations of the set of annotations, the visualizations comprising one or more of:
- a depiction of an aorta, a depiction of a vessel centerline, and a depiction of a vessel lumen;
- and
- presenting the one or more visualizations in an order based on the determined sequence and on a relative weights between the depicted aorta, vessel centerlines, and vessel lumens for accurately constructing a three-dimensional computer model of the individual's anatomy.
A system for manipulating medical image annotations, the system comprising:
- a data storage device storing instructions for manipulating medical image annotations;
- and
- a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including:
- producing a set of annotations for annotating anatomical features automatically identified by a processor within an image of at least a portion of an individual's anatomy;
- determining a sequence between at least two annotations of the set of annotations based on the anatomical features associated with each of the at least two annotations of the set of annotations, the anatomical features including one or more of an aorta, a vessel centerline, and a vessel lumen;
- determining one or more visualizations for each of the at least two annotations of the set of annotations, the visualizations comprising one or more of:
- a depiction of an aorta, a depiction of a vessel centerline, and a depiction of a vessel lumen;
- and
- presenting the one or more visualizations in an order based on the determined sequence and on a relative weights between the depicted aorta, vessel centerlines, and vessel lumens for accurately constructing a three-dimensional computer model 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 medical image annotations, the method comprising:
- producing a set of annotations for annotating anatomical features automatically identified by a processor within an image of at least a portion of an individual's anatomy;
- determining a sequence between at least two annotations of the set of annotations based on the anatomical features associated with each of the at least two annotations of the set of annotations, the anatomical features including one or more of an aorta, a vessel centerline, and a vessel lumen;
- determining one or more visualizations for each of the at least two annotations of the set of annotations, the visualizations comprising one or more of:
- a depiction of an aorta, a depiction of a vessel centerline, and a depiction of a vessel lumen;
- and
- presenting the one or more visualizations in an order based on the determined sequence and on a relative weights between the depicted aorta, vessel centerlines, and vessel lumens for accurately constructing a three-dimensional computer model of the individual's anatomy.
