Data processing and feedback method and system
First Claim
1. A method for performing an operation on data comprising:
- accessing data from a repository, the data including a feature of interest identifiable from the data;
receiving an assessment from a human operator regarding the feature of interest in the accessed data;
accessing supplemental data including a known correct assessment of a similar feature of interest identifiable from the supplemental data;
analyzing the accessed data, the received assessment and the supplemental data via a computer-assisted data operating algorithm; and
providing feedback to the human operator based upon the analysis.

Abstract
A technique is provided for offering feedback, including feedback for patient care and for training purposes for medical professionals and human operators. The technique includes accessing data, such as image data, for evaluation by a human operator. The data is then analyzed via a computer-assisted data operating algorithm, and the analysis may further include analysis of supplemental data accessed from an integrated knowledge base. Based upon the analysis feedback is provided to the operator, such as for completing or complementing the evaluation, correcting analysis by the human operator, or otherwise informing the human operator of similarities or differences between the analyses.
