MULTI-FINGER TOUCH ADAPTATIONS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING SYSTEMS
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method for presenting image slices in a windowing environment based on multi-touch user input, the image slices generated by an imaging system, the method comprising configuring one or more processors to perform an operation comprising:
- providing a series of image slices representing a view of an object;
defining a gesture based on at least a count of fingers represented in multi-touch user input;
associating the defined gesture with a corresponding action for manipulating an image slice;
receiving multi-touch user input;
upon determining that the received multi-touch user input includes the defined gesture, performing the corresponding action on an image slice of the series to generate a resultant image slice; and
outputting the resultant image slice via an output device.

Abstract
Systems, methods and articles of manufacture are disclosed for presenting image slices in a windowing environment based on multi-touch user input, the image slices generated by an imaging system. A series of image slices may be provided that represent a view of an object. A gesture may be defined based on at least a count of fingers represented in multi-touch user input. Further, the defined gesture may be associated with a corresponding action for manipulating an image slice. Multi-touch user input may be received. Upon determining that the received multi-touch user input includes the defined gesture, the corresponding action may be performed on an image slice of the series to generate a resultant image slice. The resultant image slice may be output via an output device.
