First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system for computer aided detection and decision support comprising:
- an ontology of image representations for injecting meaning into and adding relationships among image contents;
an image understanding and parsing module in communication with the ontology of image representations for extracting structures from an image including the image contents; and
a reasoning engine based in communication with the ontology and the image understanding and parsing module for classifying the image contents, wherein the system receives the image and corresponding descriptive information.

5. A system for computer aided detection and decision support comprising:
-
a memory device storing a plurality of instructions embodying a computer aided detection and decision support system;
a processor for receiving an image including an object of interest and corresponding descriptive information and executing the plurality of instructions to perform a method comprising;
determining a segmentation of the image including the object of interest;
detecting the object of interest;
comparing the image including the object of interest to a knowledge model to determine an analysis of the object of interest;
performing a similar case search against a picture archiving and communication system database based on a detected object of interest and the analysis; and
outputting at least one image retrieved from the picture archiving and communication system database together with corresponding descriptive information. - View Dependent Claims (6, 7, 8)
