Virtual colonoscopy navigation methods using a mobile device
First Claim
1. A mobile medical computing system, the system comprising:
- a mobile device configured to view clinical content, the mobile device comprising;
a data storage to store data including images for a virtual colonoscopy;
a user interface to display the images for user viewing and manipulation;
a motion detector to capture movement of the mobile device with respect to a reference plane to provide movement data from the movement of the mobile device with respect to the reference plane;
a processor to receive input via the user interface and provide content, including the images, to the user interface, the processor to provide a virtual colonoscopy using the images to a user via the user interface, the processor to receive the movement data from the motion detector and translate the movement data to navigation commands in the virtual colonoscopy to allow the user to conduct a virtual colonoscopy using the mobile device, the processor to translate input received from the user interface into annotation of results of the virtual colonoscopy, the processor to facilitate generation of a report of the virtual colonoscopy procedure via the mobile device, the processor to provide a mobile review of the virtual colonoscopy by user edit, replay, and sharing of the virtual colonoscopy and identified findings via the user interface.

Abstract
Certain examples provide systems and methods for mobile virtual colonoscopy. Certain examples provide a mobile device configured to view clinical content. The mobile device includes a data storage to store data including images for a virtual colonoscopy; a user interface to display the images for user viewing and manipulation; and a motion detector to capture movement of the mobile device with respect to a reference plane and to provide movement data. The mobile device includes a processor to receive input via the user interface and provide content, including the images, to the user interface. The processor is to provide a virtual colonoscopy using the images to a user via the user interface. The processor receives the movement data from the motion detector and translates the movement data to navigation commands in the virtual colonoscopy to allow the user to conduct a virtual colonoscopy using the mobile device.

8. A method for mobile virtual colonoscopy using a movement of a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
loading images for a virtual colonoscopy at a mobile device; displaying, via a user interface at the mobile device, the images for user viewing and manipulation in a virtual colonoscopy; capturing, using a motion detector in the mobile device, movement of the mobile device with respect to a reference plane to provide movement data from the movement of the mobile device with respect to the reference plane; conducting, using a processor, navigation of the virtual colonoscopy based on the movement data provided by the motion detector, the processor translating the movement data to navigation commands in the virtual colonoscopy to allow the user to conduct a virtual colonoscopy using the mobile device; translating input received from the user interface into annotation of results of the virtual colonoscopy; facilitating generation of a report of the virtual colonoscopy procedure via the mobile device; and facilitating a mobile review of the virtual colonoscopy by user edit, replay, and sharing of the virtual colonoscopy and identified findings via the user interface. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A tangible computer-readable storage medium having a set of instructions stored thereon which, when executed, instruct a processor to implement a method for mobile virtual colonoscopy using a movement of a mobile device, the method comprising:
-
loading images for a virtual colonoscopy at a mobile device; displaying, via a user interface at the mobile device, the images for user viewing and manipulation in a virtual colonoscopy; capturing, using a motion detector in the mobile device, movement of the mobile device with respect to a reference plane to provide movement data from the movement of the mobile device with respect to the reference plane; conducting, using a processor, navigation of the virtual colonoscopy based on the movement data provided by the motion detector, the processor translating the movement data to navigation commands in the virtual colonoscopy to allow the user to conduct a virtual colonoscopy using the mobile device; facilitating a mobile review of the virtual colonoscopy by user edit, replay, and sharing of the virtual colonoscopy and identified findings via the user interface; and accepting multi-touch user input to draw shapes and annotate to generate measurements, highlight abnormal structure, and add textual comments to an image in the virtual colonoscopy. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17)
