First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of facilitating labeling during medical image analysis comprising:
- receiving a selection of a label;
altering the appearance of a cursor based upon the selected label;
receiving one or more sets of coordinates identifying locations within an image associated with the selected label;
defining a physiological feature within the image delineated by domains of shared physical properties within the medical image data and one or more identified locations associated with the selected label; and
assigning the label to the defined feature.

Abstract
The present disclosure is directed towards a method of efficient and unambiguous labeling of physiological features within medical image data during medical imagining analysis. For example, in one embodiment, the method includes receiving a selection of a label from a label tool, receiving one or more sets of coordinates that identify locations within an image associated with the selected label, defining a physiological feature within the image delineated by domains of shared physical properties within the medical image data and one or more identified locations associated with the selected label, and assigning the label to the defined feature.

8. A medical image analysis system comprising:
-
input and output devices comprising a display and pointing device; one or more images from an image dataset that are representations of patient tissue from medical imaging; a cursor operable to select a label and to select locations within an image to be associated with a selected label; a processor executing commands to perform functions, comprising; receiving a selection of a label; altering the appearance of a cursor based upon the selected label; receiving one or more locations on an image associated with the selected label; defining physiological features bound by one or more of the received locations and domains of common physical properties within the imaged tissue; assigning the label to the defined feature. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. One or more tangible, non-transitory, computer-readable media encoded with one or more routines, wherein the routines when executed by a processor perform actions comprising:
-
receiving a selection of a label; altering the appearance of a cursor based upon the selected label; receiving one or more locations on an image associated with the selected label; defining physiological features bound by one or more of the identified locations and domains of common physical properties within the medical image data; and assigning the label to the defined feature. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
