Abstract
The present invention provides a method of allowing medical practitioners to demonstrate the effects of a medical condition or a treatment to an individual. This is achieved by using a processing system to obtain image data in accordance with an input command received from the medical practitioner. The image data defines one or more images representing a medical condition or associated treatment, and these can be presented to the user on a display. Following this, annotations can be added to the displayed images, allowing the annotations to be used in explanation of a medical condition.
