A method for extraction of information from an image and inclusion thereof in a clinical report, comprising: obtaining, in electronic format, an image including a medical image display region and an information display region, wherein the image is an ultrasound image, a computed tomography image, an X-ray image, a magnetic resonance image, a position emission tomography image, or a single photo emission tomography image; wherein at least one of the medical image display region or the information display region includes graphical indicia including alphanumeric information (118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140); evaluating pixels of the image to identify pixels including predetermined graphical indicia including alphanumeric information of interest in the image, the evaluating being performed using search criteria identifying the predetermined graphical indicia to search, the predetermined graphical indicia to search being a predetermined default or user defined, the entire image being analyzed until the predetermined graphical indicia of interest is located; determining an extraction group of pixels based on a predetermined extraction region, the extraction group of pixels including a predetermined number of pixels preceding or succeeding the pixels identified as including the predetermined graphical indicia, wherein the predetermined extraction region indicates said predetermined number of pixels; extracting alphanumeric information from the extraction group of pixels in response to identifying the predetermined graphical indicia; and inserting the extracted alphanumeric information in an electronically formatted clinical report for the image. obtaining, in electronic format, an image including a medical image display region and an information display region, wherein the image is an ultrasound image, a computed tomography image, an X-ray image, a magnetic resonance image, a position emission tomography image, or a single photo emission tomography image; wherein at least one of the medical image display region or the information display region includes graphical indicia including alphanumeric information (118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140); evaluating pixels of the image to identify pixels including predetermined graphical indicia including alphanumeric information of interest in the image, the evaluating being performed using search criteria identifying the predetermined graphical indicia to search, the predetermined graphical indicia to search being a predetermined default or user defined, the entire image being analyzed until the predetermined graphical indicia of interest is located; determining an extraction group of pixels based on a predetermined extraction region, the extraction group of pixels including a predetermined number of pixels preceding or succeeding the pixels identified as including the predetermined graphical indicia, wherein the predetermined extraction region indicates said predetermined number of pixels; extracting alphanumeric information from the extraction group of pixels in response to identifying the predetermined graphical indicia; and inserting the extracted alphanumeric information in an electronically formatted clinical report for the image.
