Patent ID: 8775451

Claim:
A method for facilitating diagnosis or suspicion of a condition related to an X-ray, MRI, mammography, or ultrasound, comprising: processing user input to identify or define an object of interest in a first display image, the object of interest being located within the first display image and representing a candidate condition or indication for diagnosis or suspicion of the condition; displaying the object of interest in a first display; determining at least one imaging parameter based on at least one measurement of the object of interest; displaying, near the first display, a plurality of additional images from an identified database, wherein each of the plurality of additional images comprises one or more objects and each of the plurality of additional images is identified based on mathematically generating a value which characterizes a similarity measurement between the at least one imaging parameter of the objects of interest and the at least one stored parameter of an object within the corresponding additional images; spatially arranging the plurality of additional images according to the similarity measurement and selecting, by a user, at least one of a plurality of image sharpening options with checkboxes; outputting a first result for a first analysis of the user input based on pixel location; outputting a second result for a second analysis of the user input based on the first result of the first analysis; and outputting a numeric score that indicates the likelihood that a disease is associated with the user input, wherein the similarity measurement is based on the first result and the second result, and the similarity measurement is calculated with a modified Voronin formula.
