DIAGNOSTIC SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR OBTAINING MEASUREMENTS FROM A MEDICAL IMAGE
First Claim
1. A medical diagnostic system comprising:
- a user interface having a user screen that is configured to display a medical image to an operator of the diagnostic system, the medical image including a region-of-interest (ROI) of a patient, wherein the user interface is configured to show first and second markers on the medical image, the first and second markers representing endpoints of a distance to be measured, the user interface being configured to receive user inputs to move the first marker or the second marker to corresponding locations in the ROI; and
a controller configured to designate a localized section of the medical image that includes the corresponding location of the first marker, the controller configured to display a zoom frame of the localized section over the medical image, the localized section being magnified within the zoom frame;
wherein the user interface is configured to receive user inputs to move the first marker within the zoom frame to a new location with respect to the ROI within the zoom frame, the controller configured to measure the distance between the corresponding location of the second marker and the new location of the first marker.

Abstract
Medical diagnostic system includes a user interface having a user screen that is configured to display a medical image to an operator of the diagnostic system. The user interface is configured to show first and second markers on the medical image. The first and second markers represent endpoints of a distance to be measured. The user interface is configured to receive user inputs to move the first marker or the second marker in the ROI. The diagnostic system also includes a controller that is configured to designate a localized section of the medical image that includes the corresponding location of the first marker and display a zoom frame of the localized section over the medical image. The user interface is configured to receive user inputs to move the first marker within the zoom frame to a new location in the ROI within the zoom frame.

9. A method comprising:
-
displaying first and second markers on a medical image that includes a region-of-interest (ROI) of a patient, the first and second markers representing endpoints of a distance to be measured in the ROI, the first and second markers having corresponding locations in the ROI; designating a localized section of the medical image that includes the corresponding location of the first marker; displaying a zoom frame of the localized section over the medical image, the localized section being magnified within the zoom frame; receiving user inputs to move the first marker within the zoom frame to a new location in the ROI; and measuring a distance between the corresponding location of the second marker and the new location of the first marker. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. The medical imaging system comprising:
-
a medical imager configured to acquire a medical image of a region-of-interest (ROI) of a patient; a user interface having a user screen that is configured to display the medical image to an operator of the medical imaging system, wherein the user interface is configured to display first and second markers on the medical image, the first and second markers representing endpoints of a distance to be measured, the user interface being configured to receive user inputs to move the first marker or the second marker to corresponding locations in the ROI; and a controller configured to designate a localized section of the medical image that includes the corresponding location of the first marker, the controller configured to display a zoom frame of the localized section over the medical image, the localized section being magnified within the zoom frame; wherein the user interface is configured to receive user inputs to move the first marker within the zoom frame to a new location in the ROI within the zoom frame, the controller configured to measure the distance between the corresponding location of the second marker and the new location of the first marker. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
