Claim 8:
9. A computing platform providing asynchronous adjudication of one or more regions-of-interest in a medical image by a group of two or more remotely located graders in communication with the computing platform over a computer network using a workstation, comprising:
a computer memory storing the medical image; and
a server distributing the medical image to the workstations used by the two or more graders, wherein the server receives data from the workstations indicating the graders' assessment of the medical image and manual delineation of one or more specific regions-of-interest (ROI) in the medical image;
wherein the server further receives data from the workstations in the form of text by which the graders assess the ROI delineated by other graders;
wherein the server further receives data from the workstations in the form of text explaining and discussing the assessments, optionally including questions about a ROI delineated by other graders and answer to questions about the ROI they delineated; wherein the server communicates with the workstations such that the said text and ROIs delineated by all the graders are visible to all the graders on the workstation display as they adjudicate the medical image in a round-robin manner;
wherein the server further receives data indicating manual verification of grader agreement and
wherein the server, responsive to receiving data indicating manual verification of grader agreement from all of the graders, concludes adjudication of the medical image.
