1. A computer-implemented method of controlling image annotation, using at least one computer system, the method comprising using a processor for:
- receiving, at the at least one computer system, a digital representation of image data;
generating, by the at least one computer system, a plurality of image annotations of anatomic features identified within the image data;
determining, by the at least one computer system, one or more associations between members of a set of image annotations of the plurality of image annotations;
generating one or more groups of image annotations, each group comprising one or more image annotations among the generated plurality of image annotations and each group being generated based on an association between the image annotations of the group;
determining, by the at least one computer system, a representative annotation for each group selected from among the image annotations of the group, the representative annotation being determined as an annotation among the image annotations of the group closest to an aggregation of the image annotations of the group and the representative annotation identifying anatomic features identified within the image data; and
presenting, by the at least one computer system, the representative annotation of each group of the one or more groups for selection or correction by a user.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for controlling image annotation. One method includes acquiring a digital representation of image data and generating a set of image annotations for the digital representation of the image data. The method also may include determining an association between members of the set of image annotations and generating one or more groups of members based on the association. A representative annotation from the one or more groups may also be determined, presented for selection, and the selection may be recorded in memory.

11. A system of controlling image annotation, the system comprising:
-
a data storage device storing instructions for controlling image annotation; and a processor configured to execute the instruction to perform a method including; receiving a digital representation of image data; generating a plurality of image annotations of anatomic features identified within the image data; determining one or more associations between members of a set of image annotations of the plurality of image annotations; generating one or more groups of image annotations, each group comprising one or more image annotations among the generated plurality of image annotations and each group being generated based on an association between the image annotations of the group; determining a representative annotation for each group selected from among the image annotations of the group, the representative annotation being determined as an annotation among the image annotations of the group closest to an aggregation of the image annotations of the group and the representative annotation identifying anatomic features identified within the image data; and presenting the representative annotation of each group of the one or more groups for selection or correction by a user. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium for use on a computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for controlling image annotation, the instructions being executable by the computer system for:
-
receiving a digital representation of image data; generating a plurality of image annotations of anatomic features identified within the image data; determining one or more associations between members of a set of image annotations of the plurality of image annotations; generating one or more groups of image annotations, each group comprising one or more image annotations among the generated plurality of image annotations and each group being generated based on an association between the image annotations of the group; determining a representative annotation for each group selected from among the image annotations of the group, the representative annotation being determined as an annotation among the image annotations of the group closest to an aggregation of the image annotations of the group and the representative annotation identifying anatomic features identified within the image data; and presenting the representative annotation of each group of the one or more groups for selection or correction by a user. - View Dependent Claims (20)
