Embodiment Construction

[0027] refer to figure 1 , schematically illustrates an embodiment of the medical image navigation system 2 . The system 2 includes a radiology viewport module 4 that manages the user interface, switching image studies on and off, managing displays, entering commands, and the like. The Radiology Viewport module opens image studies, and each image study can include multiple images or image slices. The images are stored in a standard image format (e.g., Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (DICOM) format) and stored in a memory or computer storage system 6 (e.g., Picture Archiving and Communication System (PACS), Radiology Information System (RIS ) etc.). The images can be retrieved from a storage device, or received directly from the imaging source 7 (eg, MR scanner, CT scanner, PET scanner, etc.).

[0028] The radiology viewing port 4 operates on a workstation 8 which is connected to a server or web server or the like via a network 10 . Workstation 8 includes an ...

Abstract

A medical image navigation system (2) includes a viewport module (4), a proximity module (26), a visualization module (28) and a matching module (34). The viewport module (4) navigates a plurality of image slices of a study and based on input from at least one input device selects at least one image which is displayed and any annotations associated with the selected at least one image on a display device. The proximity module (26) for the selected image slice returns at least one proximate annotation, if available. The visualization module (28) for the returned at least one proximate annotation visualizes the at least one proximate annotation which is displayed by the viewport module on the selected at least one image. A matching module (34) retrieves for display an image slice in one study which corresponds to a displayed image slice from another study.

Description

technical field [0001] This application relates generally to medical imaging. It finds particular application in connection with navigation of diagnostic images and annotations within and between studies and will be described with particular reference thereto. However, it should be understood that the present application is also applicable to other usage scenarios, and is not necessarily limited to the aforementioned applications. Background technique [0002] A radiologist or healthcare practitioner reviews images and / or image slices in a patient study on a monitor. A patient study may include a series of parallel slices across a patient area (eg, 20-50 cm or more). The thickness of the slices varies with the imaging modality and is typically 1-5 mm. The health care practitioner uses a scroll bar or the like to step through the images. When scrolling quickly, the display has a movie-type appearance. A healthcare practitioner annotates each image and includes details su...
