System and method for feature score mapping and visualization of medical images

A method for scoring features in medical image data comprising:

• receiving medical image data, the medical image data including a region of interest;
• analyzing the region of interest with respect to a plurality of morphological characteristics in each of a plurality of morphological categories;
• generating a morphological score along a continuum that maps substantially the entire region of interest to a score range indicative of a degree to which the region of interest matches the plurality of morphological characteristics in each of the plurality of morphological categories from a lesser degree of match to a greater degree of match;
• and
• displaying the medical image data, including visual data indicative of the morphological score range across the continuum from less suspicious to more suspicious.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing instructions for scoring features in medical image data by causing a computer system to:

• receive medical image data, the medical image data including a region of interest;
• analyze the region of interest with respect to a plurality of morphological characteristics in each of a plurality of morphological categories;
• generate a morphological score along a continuum that maps substantially the entire region of interest to a score range indicative of a degree to which the region of interest matches the plurality of morphological characteristics in each of the plurality of morphological categories from a lesser degree of match to a greater degree of match;
• and
• display the medical image data, including visual data indicative of the morphological score range across the continuum from less suspicious to more suspicious.
