Patent Images
1. A method for evaluating a sequence of medical examination images comprising the steps of:
- successively presenting medical examination images in a sequence at a viewing device;
controlling presentation of said medical examination images at said viewing device with a data processing device running on software, including control of a presentation duration at said viewing device of each of said medical examination images;
using said software in said data processing device, executing an evaluation algorithm for identifying if a medical examination image in said sequence exhibits an abnormality; and
upon identification of said abnormality, said software automatically lengthening said presentation duration of the medical examination image containing the abnormality.
