Patent ID: 8771191

Claim:
A method of operating a computing device to re-measure a tissue structure measurement from an image, the method comprising: capturing a first image that includes tissue structure features; accepting first operator input indicating a location of a layer of tissue in a measurement region within the first image for use in determining an intima-media thickness (IMT) measurement of the tissue structure; determining an orientation of the layer of tissue relative to one or more boundaries of the measurement region; measuring the IMT of the tissue structure using the first operator input; storing at least a portion of the first operator input and information with respect to the first image, wherein the information with respect to the first image comprises measurement parameters and record data; capturing a second image that includes at least a portion of the tissue structure features captured in the first image; accepting second operator input indicating a location of the layer of tissue in the second image; registering the second image, wherein registering the second image comprises aligning the layer of tissue in the second image based on the orientation of the layer of tissue in the first image and on the second operator input; and re-measuring IMT of the tissue structure in the registered second image using the second operator input and the first image measurement parameters and record data.
