First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method of controlling image annotation, using at least one computer system, the method comprising using a processor for:
- generating, by the at least one computer system, a plurality of image annotations of anatomic features identified within a digital representation of image data;
presenting, by the at least one computer system, one or more image annotations among the plurality of image annotations of anatomic features to a user;
receiving feedback from the user regarding the one or more image annotations;
based on the received feedback, adjusting the digital representation of image data;
generating, by the at least one computer system, alternative image annotations of anatomic features identified within the adjusted digital representation of image data;
determining an association between the generated alternative image annotations;
automatically categorizing the generated alternative image annotations to one or more groups based on the determined association;
determining a representative annotation for each group of the one or more groups; and
presenting the representative annotation of each group of the one or more groups for selection or correction by a user.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling image annotation. One method includes acquiring a digital representation of image data and generating a set of image annotations for the digital representation of the image data. The method also may include determining an association between members of the set of image annotations and generating one or more groups of members based on the association. A representative annotation from the one or more groups may also be determined, presented for selection, and the selection may be recorded in memory.
