Method of retrieving data from a medical image data set

A system for retrieving a plurality of data slices from a medical image data set, the system comprising:

• a) a display, the display unit displaying an indicator associated with the plurality of data slices;
• b) a user interface device configured to receive a user input for selecting the indicator;
• and
• c) a retrieval unit configured to retrieve the plurality of data slices associated with the indicator when said indicator is selected;
• wherein the association between the indicator and the plurality of slices is based on segmentation of the medical image data set, the indicator representing an object obtained in the segmentation of the medical image data set, the plurality of data slices comprising the object data;
• wherein the indicator associated with the plurality of slices is selected from a table with pre-defined indicators and settings for creating the indicator;
• wherein the segmentation is based on the plurality of data slices.

A computer program product embodied on a non-transitory computer readable medium and being adapted to enable a computer system comprising at least one computer having data storage means in connection therewith to control a computer system to perform a method of retrieving a plurality of data slices from a medical image data set, the method comprising:

• a) displaying an indicator associated with the plurality of data slices;
• b) selecting the indicator based on a user input;
• and
• c) retrieving the plurality of data slices associated with the indicator when said indicator is selected;
• wherein the association between the indicator and the plurality of slices is based on segmentation of the medical image data set, the indicator representing an object obtained in the segmentation of the medical image data set, the plurality of data slices comprising the object data;
• wherein the indicator associated with the plurality of slices is selected from a table with pre-defined indicators and settings for creating the indicator.
