System and method for automated report generation of ophthalmic examinations from digital drawings
First Claim
1. A system to produce reports from medical drawings comprising:
- a computer system to enable a user to produce a medical drawing and to examine that drawing and generate a report, said computer system including;
an image display module to display a user interface and enable selection of a background medical image by said user;
a drawing module to display said selected background image and facilitate selection and placement of at least one symbol by said user on said selected background image, wherein each said selected symbol on said selected background image identifies a corresponding medical condition within that background image;
a translation module to examine said user drawing and automatically generate a textual annotation for each said medical condition identified by said at least one selected symbol for display to label that medical condition on said selected background image and one or more textual statements based on said at least one selected symbol within said selected background image; and
a report module to generate a report indicating said medical conditions identified by said at least one selected symbol based on said textual statements generated from said user drawing providing characteristics of said medical conditions.

Abstract
The present invention is a combined image viewing, drawing, and reporting system, which provides: an easy way to access digital images while creating a digital drawing; and an automated method of creating medical reports by translating the drawing data into standard reports. The present invention system provides automated medical drawings and creates medical reports as a result of translating drawing results. The system provides invaluable tools for drawing, diagnosing and treating ophthalmic and/or other types of diseases by generating an automated translation report based on the physician drawing. Customized reports (e.g., a medical drawing report, a referral note, a medical letter, billing based information, a proofsheet for the patient chart, etc.) can be added by the user. A physician can design a format for a report via system utility tools. The present invention may be a stand-alone system, and/or connected to a network.
