Medical scan annotator system
First Claim
1. A medical scan annotator system, comprising:
- a medical scan database that includes a plurality of medical scans;
a user database that includes a plurality of user profiles corresponding to a plurality of users of the medical scan annotator system;
a processing system that includes a processor; and
a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations comprising;
transmitting, via a network, a first medical scan from the medical scan database to a first client device associated with a first user in the user database, wherein the medical scan is displayed to the first user via a first interactive interface of a first display device corresponding to the first client device;
receiving first annotation data from the first client device via the network, wherein the first annotation data is generated by the first client device via the first interactive interface;
transmitting the first medical scan to a second client device associated with a second user in the user database via the network, wherein the medical scan is displayed to the second user via a second interactive interface of a second display device corresponding to the second client device;
receiving second annotation data from the second client device via the network, wherein the second annotation data is generated by the second client device via the second interactive interface;
generating annotation similarity data by comparing the first annotation data to the second annotation data;
generating consensus annotation data based on the first annotation data and the second annotation data in response to the annotation similarity data indicating that a difference between the first annotation data and the second annotation data compares favorably to an annotation discrepancy threshold; and
mapping the consensus annotation data to the first medical scan in the medical scan database.

Abstract
A medical scan annotator system is operable to select a medical scan for transmission via a network to a first client device and a second client device for display via an interactive interface, and annotation data is received from the first client device and the second client device in response. Annotation similarity data is generated by comparing the first annotation data to the second annotation data, and consensus annotation data is generated based on the first annotation data and the second annotation data in response to the annotation similarity data indicating that the difference between the first annotation data and the second annotation data compares favorably to an annotation discrepancy threshold. The consensus annotation data is mapped to the medical scan in a medical scan database.
