Abstract
A method for associating a computer aided detection/diagnosis result with an image including the steps of providing one or more digitized images, each image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on an N-dimensional grid, performing a computer-aided detection/diagnosis of intensity data of a first image, calculating a hash signature of intensity of a second input image, storing said computer-aided diagnosis results, and storing said hash signature, wherein said hash signature verifies said second image when said second image is displayed with said computer-aided diagnosis result.
Claims24
A method of associating a computer aided detection/diagnosis result with an image comprising the steps of:
- providing one or more digitized images, each image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on an N-dimensional grid;
- performing a computer-aided detection/diagnosis of intensity data of a first image;
- calculating a hash signature of intensity of a second input image;
- storing said computer-aided diagnosis results;
- and
- storing said hash signature, wherein said hash signature verifies said second image when said second image is displayed with said computer-aided diagnosis result.
A method of associating a computer aided detection/diagnosis result with an image comprising the steps of:
- providing results of a computer aided detection/diagnosis of a first digitized medical image;
- providing a hash signature of a second medical image to be displayed with said computer aided detection/diagnosis results;
- providing a digitized input image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on an N-dimensional grid
- calculating a hash signature of said input image;
- and
- comparing the hash signature of said input image with the hash signature read from said computer aided diagnosis results.
A program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform the method steps for associating a computer aided detection/diagnosis result with an image said method comprising the steps of:
- providing one or more digitized images, each image comprising a plurality of intensities corresponding to a domain of points on an N-dimensional grid;
- performing a computer-aided detection/diagnosis of intensity data of a first image;
- calculating a hash signature of intensity of a second input image;
- storing said computer-aided diagnosis results;
- and
- storing said hash signature, wherein said hash signature verifies said second image when said second image is displayed with said computer-aided diagnosis result.
A program storage device readable by a computer, tangibly embodying a program of instructions executable by the computer to perform the method steps for associating a computer aided detection/diagnosis result with an image comprising the steps of:
- providing results of a computer aided detection/diagnosis of a first digitized medical image;
