Abstract
A method involving an image of an anatomy, includes: obtaining an image of an anatomy; obtaining a program instruction from a user for creating an object in the image; and executing the program instruction to create the object in the image, wherein the act of executing the program instruction is performed using a processor. A computer product having a non-transitory medium storing a set of instructions, an execution of which causes a method to be performed, the method includes: obtaining an image of an anatomy; obtaining a program instruction from a user for creating an object in the image; and executing the program instruction to create the object in the image.
Claims45
A method involving a medical image, comprising:
- obtaining a medical image;
- obtaining a program instruction from a user for creating an object, wherein the program instruction is based on a constructive-anatomic-geometry (CAG) language;
- executing the program instruction to create the object, wherein the act of executing the program instruction is performed using a processor that is configured to process the CAG language;
- outputting graphical data representing the object that is created based on the program instruction for display in the image;
- and
- storing information regarding the object in a non-transitory medium;
- wherein the CAG language is any language having a plurality of commands that can be selectively combined for allowing one or more object-creation actions to be defined.
A computer product having a non-transitory medium storing a set of instructions, an execution of which causes a method to be performed, the method comprising:
- obtaining a medical image;
- obtaining a program instruction from a user for creating an object, wherein the program instruction is based on a constructive-anatomic-geometry (CAG) language;
- executing the program instruction to create the object;
- and
- outputting graphical data representing the object that is created based on the program instruction for display in the image;
- wherein the CAG language is any language having a plurality of commands that can be selectively combined for allowing one or more object-creation actions to be defined.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a processor configured for
- obtaining a medical image,
- obtaining a program instruction from a user for creating an object, wherein the program instruction is based on a constructive-anatomic-geometry (CAG) language, wherein the CAG language is any language having a plurality of commands that can be selectively combined for allowing one or more object-creation actions to be defined;
- executing the program instruction to create the object;
- and
- outputting graphical data representing the object that is created based on the program instruction for display in the image;
- and
- a non-transitory medium for storing information regarding the object.
