Systems and methods for synchronized image viewing with an image atlas
First Claim
1. A method for synchronizing a patient image with an atlas image, said method comprising:
- retrieving, using a processor, an image atlas including at least one atlas image, said retrieving based on one or more characteristic associated with the patient image and the image atlas;
registering, using the processor, an atlas image to a patient image;
synchronizing, using the processor, a view of the atlas image to a view of the patient image; and
labeling components in the atlas image for reference with respect to the patient image.

Abstract
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide methods and systems for synchronizing a view of a patient image with an atlas image. Certain embodiments provide a method for synchronizing a patient image with an atlas image. The method includes retrieving an image atlas including at least one atlas image, registering an atlas image to a patient image and synchronizing a view of the atlas image to a view of the patient image. In certain embodiments, the method further includes registering a plurality of atlas images to a plurality of patient images. In certain embodiments, the step of synchronizing further includes synchronizing at least one of orientation, zoom level, window level and pan of the atlas image to the patient image.
