Abstract:
1. A method for establishing a searchable library of human images using a computerized system, comprising: generating with a primary mode of medical imaging a three dimensional (3D) mesh of a whole body model linked to anatomical landmarks that can be seen in imagery produced by a plurality of medical imaging modes, each mode having a different type of imaging sensor, the 3D segment mesh serving as a reference and causing minimal interference with said plurality of imaging modes performed simultaneously, said 3D reference mesh enabling comparison of images of different 3D orientation; calibrating by the computerized system a geometry of a primary mode sensor in order to standardize images for automated comparison, including images generated by said plurality of imaging modes, said imaging modes comprising different types of sensors, ranges of sensitivity, and resolution; applying by the computerized system standards for acceptable image quality from said plurality of imagers; applying by the computerized system standards for metadata accompanying transmission or storage of said images; providing access control provisions for transmission and storage of the images; applying by the computerized system procedures for detecting and correcting errors in the images; and storing standardized images in the library.
