Abstract
An apparatus configured to display 3D volumetric data acquired from a patient by an imaging system comprises a 3D volumetric display system configured to generate a real-time 3D diagnostic display of the 3D volumetric data. The 3D volumetric display system includes a graphical user interface configured to permit a user to access, view, and manipulate the 3D volumetric data. The graphical user interface also includes a plurality of 3D computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) markers, each plurality of 3D CAD markers having a delineator configured to navigate through the 3D volumetric data to locate pathology and to permit a user to compile and to prepare a report containing diagnosis information in a virtual-reality environment.

19. A method of assisting diagnostic interpretation of a stereoscopic image in a virtual-reality environment, the method comprising the steps of:
-
navigating a 3D CAD marker through the stereoscopic image responsive to operator inputs, the 3D CAD marker having a delineator and a status bar indicator including a plurality of command buttons;
indicating likelihood of an anomaly in the stereoscopic image of a patient by using the delineator of the 3D CAD marker;
displaying diagnosis information about the anomaly in the status bar;
receiving an operator input using one of the plurality of command buttons; and
generating a report containing the diagnosis information in the virtual-reality environment. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
