15. A method for diagnosing anomaly in an ultrasound image, comprising:
-
obtaining the ultrasound image from a patient; making a redacted image by obscuring at least one region of the ultrasound image; making information of the redacted image available to the patient; anonymizing the ultrasound image; diagnosing the anomaly by analysing the anonymized ultrasound image; making the diagnosis available to the patient; wherein no information of the obscured region except the diagnosis is made available to the patient.
