GRAPHICAL USER INTERFACE FOR MULTI-MODAL IMAGES AT INCREMENTAL ANGULAR DISPLACEMENTS
First Claim
1. A method for forming a sequence of images of a subject, comprising:
- a) obtaining at least first and second image sets of the subject, wherein each image set has a given angular displacement relative to an axis of rotation of the subject, each image set comprising at least;
(i) a first component image of a first diagnostic modality at the given angular displacement; and
(ii) a second component image that is co-registered to the first component image at the given angular displacement;
b) selecting the first image set as the selected image set for display;
c) forming a synthesized image by combining image data from the at least first and second component images of the selected image set; and
d) displaying the synthesized image.

Abstract
A method for forming a sequence of images of a subject obtains at least first and second image sets of the subject, each image set having a given angular displacement relative to an axis of rotation of the subject, each image set having at least a first component image of a first diagnostic modality at the given angular displacement and a second component image that is co-registered to the first component image at the given angular displacement. The first image set is selected as the selected image set for display. A synthesized image is formed by combining image data for the at least first and second component images of the selected image set and the synthesized image is displayed.

13. A graphical user interface for multi-modal image display of a subject comprising:
-
a plurality of angular displacement selection controls, wherein each angular displacement selection control is actuable to select a corresponding rotation angle as a selected rotation angle and is associated with at least a first image of a first diagnostic modality at said selected rotation angle and a second image that is co-registered to the first component image at said selected rotation angle; a first image enable control that is actuable to enable or disable display of image content of the first image; a second image enable control that is actuable to enable or disable display of image content of the second image; and a display area capable of displaying a synthesized image formed from image content of the at least first and second images. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16)

17. A graphical user interface for display of a synthesized image of a subject, the interface comprising:
-
a display area that is disposed to display the synthesized image formed as a combination of image content from a first image of a first diagnostic modality and a second image of a second diagnostic modality, wherein the synthesized image has an associated rotation angle; a plurality of angular displacement controls, wherein each angular displacement control is actuable to select the rotation angle; a first image enable control that is actuable to enable the use of image data of the first image for forming the synthesized image; and a second image enable control that is actuable to enable the use of image data of the second image for forming the synthesized image. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
