Abstract:
1. A method for supporting a diagnostic workflow from a computer system, comprising: (a) linking, based on a set of pre-identified anatomical landmarks of one or more structures of interest, multiple medical images to establish a landmark-by-landmark correspondence by mapping coordinates of one of the anatomical landmarks represented in one of the medical images to the coordinates of the same anatomical landmark represented in another of the medical images, wherein the anatomical landmarks are pre-identified to have anatomical significance; (b) presenting, via a display device, the pre-identified anatomical landmarks and automatically-generated text labels of corresponding names within one or more of the medical images; (c) receiving, via an input device, a first user input selecting at least one of one or more regions of interest, wherein the region of interest includes one or more of the anatomical landmarks; (d) navigating to, via the display device, the selected region of interest in response to the first user input; and (e) editing the automatically-generated text labels in response to user selections from a hierarchical menu of labels associated with different levels of abstraction of the one or more structures of interest.
