Abstract
A method of screening for a cancer in a patient, an integrated method of screening for a cancer in a patient, a computer program product for carrying out the methods, as well as a medical imaging apparatus for carrying out the methods are disclosed. Based upon the above, it is possible that the patient will obtain a more reliable result from a first medical imaging treatment.
Claims22
A method of screening for a cancer in a patient, comprising:
- obtaining or providing at least one first image of a tissue of said patient suspected of being carcinogenic, using medical imaging via a first medical imaging apparatus;
- automatically determining a first set of parameters from said at least one first image;
- automatically determining whether or not subsequent screening should be carried out based on the first set of parameters;
- and
- automatically displaying a recommendation upon determining that the subsequent screening should be carried out, via a first display unit,
- wherein the automatically displaying of the recommendation takes place within 15 minutes after the obtaining or providing of the at least one first image of the tissue of the patient.
