1. A computer-implemented method for processing regions of interest (ROI) derived at least partially from image data corresponding to an anatomical volume, comprising:
- accessing, via one or more computers, ROIs;
accessing, via at least one of the one or more computers, reference image data corresponding to the anatomical volume;
generating, via at least one of the one or more computers, additional information related to the ROIs;
selecting, via at least one of the one or more computers, one or more subsets of ROIs; and
presenting, via at least one of the one or more computers, the ROIs with the additional information and the reference images to an observer, wherein the ROIs in the subsets are visually distinct.

Abstract
A method of processing regions of interest (ROI) obtained using computed-aided detection (CAD) along with reference image data to assist in evaluation of disease within an anatomical volume. After obtaining ROIs and reference image data, additional information related to each ROI is automatically computed. Subsets of ROIs are selected for use in visualization. ROIs are then presented to an observer in interactive, linked views, each view presenting optimally certain aspects of the ROIs and mapping ROI inclusion within the subsets to visual parameters.
