Embodiment Construction

[0039] The inventive arrangement will be described for an example using certain modalities as its operation and function. It will be apparent, however, that the inventive arrangement can also be used with other modalities and combinations thereof, especially without departing from its spirit and scope. For example, while the exemplary embodiments describe the inventive arrangement in terms of two imaging modalities, any number of modalities may be similarly used and fall within the spirit and scope thereof.

[0040] now refer to figure 1 , shows a method 10 of displaying a region of interest from a first modality image on a second modality image. Specifically, the method 10 includes: providing a first modality image 12, selecting a region of interest 14 on the first modality image, providing a second modality image 16, and displaying the region of interest from the first modality image On the second modality image 18, the method 10 thereafter ends.

Abstract

Methods (10) and systems (26) provide an integrated display, on a single screen (28), of images (20, 22) obtained from multiple modalities (30, 34) used in screening a subject (32). The methods and systems are usable with 2D, 3D, and 4D imaging, by which a single screen (28) displays a screen image (20) from a first modality (30). A window delineating an area of interest (24) is placed on a first modality image (20) from the first modality (30), and this area of interest (24) is then displayed on a second modality image (22) from a second modality (34), thereby providing a combined image representing the area of interest (24) through both modalities. Preferably, the first modality image (20) corresponds and / or is correlated with the second modality image (22).

Description

technical field [0001] In general, the present arrangements relate to methods and systems for displaying images from multiple imaging sources on a single screen, and in particular, to displaying a first patient image scan modality ( modality) results that can also display information from different patient image scan modalities corresponding to a particular patient region of interest or volume of interest from a patient exam. Background technique [0002] When examining and diagnosing a medical patient, advanced imaging workflows are able to perform a first imaging modality examination on a patient, followed by additional imaging modality examinations of that same patient. If both exams describe the patient's common anatomy, the second exam can increase the sensitivity and specificity of the images obtained, and / or facilitate better patient management decisions, especially provided by multiple imaging information. However, one disadvantage in obtaining multiple modality ima...
