Graphical user interface for display of anatomical information
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for rendering anatomical information of a body from tomographic data comprising the steps of:
- receiving said tomographic data obtained from a digital imaging apparatus wherein said tomographic data is displayable in a first portion of a display as one or more two-dimensional tomographic sections of a sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections;
determining a third dimension from the sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections to create a first volumetric view wherein said first volumetric view is displayable in a second portion of the display;
determining a second volumetric view of a selected feature shown in the first or second portion wherein said second volumetric view is displayable in a third portion of the display; and
rendering one or more of said first, second or third portions of the display.

Abstract
A computer-aided diagnostic method and system provide image annotation information that can include an assessment of the probability, likelihood or predictive value of detected or identified suspected abnormalities as an additional aid to the radiologist. More specifically, probability values, in numerical form and/or analog form, are added to the locational markers of the detected and suspected abnormalities. The task of a physician using such a system as disclosed is believed to be made easier by displaying markers representing different regions of interest.

18. A system for rendering anatomical information of a body from tomographic data obtained from a digital imaging apparatus comprising:
-
a first portion of a display for rendering a sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections obtained from said tomographic data;
a second portion of the display for rendering a first volumetric view of the body wherein said first volumetric view is includes a third dimension acquired from the sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections; and
a third portion of the display for rendering a second volumetric view of a selected feature shown in the section then being rendered on the first portion or second portion of the display. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 67, 68, 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 74)

75. A method for rendering anatomical information obtained by tomographic scanning of a body comprising:
-
rendering on a first portion of display a sequence of axial sections, the particular section being rendered at any time being selectable by means of a scroll bar or scroll buttons;
rendering on a second portion of the display a volumetric view of the body, said view including an indication of the position on the body of the section then being rendered on the first portion of the display; and
rendering on a third portion of the display a view of a selected feature shown in the section then being rendered on the first portion, said view being selectively rotatable about multiple axes. - View Dependent Claims (76, 77)

78. A system for rendering anatomical information of a body from tomographic data obtained from a digital imaging apparatus comprising:
-
a first portion of a display for rendering a first sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections obtained from tomographic data;
a second portion of a display for rendering a second sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections obtained from tomographic data; and
a navigation tool for controlling the rendering of the first sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections in synchronism with the second sequence of two-dimensional tomographic sections.
