Abstract
Described herein is a platform and supported graphical user interface (GUI) decision-making tools for use by medical practitioners and/or their patients, e.g., to aide in the process of making decisions about a course of cancer treatment and/or to track treatment and/or the progress of a disease.
Claims31
A network-based decision support system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- (i) receive and store a plurality of medical images in a database, each medical image associated with a corresponding patient;
- (ii) access one or more of the medical images associated with a particular patient from the database upon user request for transmission to the user for display on a user computing device;
- (iii) automatically analyze the one or more medical images;
- and
- (iv) generate a radiologist report for the particular patient according to the one or more medical images for the patient.

A method comprising performing, by a processor of a server computing device, (i) to (iv) as follows:
- (i) receiving and storing, by the processor, a plurality of medical images in a database, each medical image associated with a corresponding patient;
- (ii) accessing, by the processor, one or more of the medical images associated with a particular patient from the database upon user request for transmission to the user for display on a user computing device;
- (iii) automatically analyzing, by the processor, the one or more medical images;
- and
- (iv) generating, by the processor, a radiologist report for the particular patient according to the one or more medical images for the patient;
- and.

A method for tracking prostate cancer progression and treatment efficacy over time, for one or more patient(s), the method comprising:
- (a) repeatedly receiving and storing in a database, over time, by a processor of a computing device, a plurality of medical images for each of the one or more patient(s) to obtain, for each of the one or more patient(s), a series of medical images taken over time;
- (b) for each of the one or more patient(s), automatically analyzing, by the processor, the series of medical images for the patient to determine values of one or more risk indices for each medical image of the series, thereby tracking determined values of the one or more risk indices over a course prostate cancer progression and treatment for the patient;
- and
- (c) for each of the one or more patient(s), storing, by the processor, the determined values of the one or more risk indices for the patient for further processing and/or causing, by the processor, display of a graphical representation of the determined values of the one or more risk indices for the patient.
41-44. (canceled)
A system for tracking prostate cancer progression and treatment efficacy over time, for one or more patient(s), the system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory having instructions stored thereon, wherein the instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
- (a) repeatedly receive and store in a database, over time, a plurality of medical images for each of the one or more patient(s) to obtain, for each of the one or more patient(s), a series of medical images taken over time;
- (b) for each of the one or more patient(s), automatically analyze the series of medical images for the patient to determine values of one or more risk indices for each medical image of the series, thereby tracking determined values of the one or more risk indices over a course prostate cancer progression and treatment for the patient;
- and
- (c) for each of the one or more patient(s), store the determined values of the one or more risk indices for the patient for further processing and/or cause display of a graphical representation of the determined values of the one or more risk indices for the patient.
