Patent ID: 8640053

Claim:
A method for presenting multiple image data sets in a display format allowing comparative evaluation of image content of the respective multiple image data sets, comprising: in a processor, automatically determining at least three organization parameters that describe a sorting of images within an image data set, or image among a plurality of image data sets, each of said images having an image content comprising more information than is visually representable by an icon; at a display in communication with said processor, visually displaying a display format comprising at least two displayed axes and comprising a plurality of said at least three organization parameters respectively as organization parameter icons; via an input unit in communication with said processor, allowing manual interaction with said display format to selectively associate one of said organization parameter icons with one of said displayed axes; in said processor, associating the organization parameter represented by said one of said organization parameter icons with at least one dimension of a three-dimensional matrix, said at least one dimension being associated with a spatial direction; in said processor, arranging said image data sets at respective three-dimensionally defined positions in said three-dimensional matrix according to said at least three organization parameters and said at least one dimension; and from said processor, causing said image data sets to be visually displayed in said display format at said display according to said arrangement in said three-dimensional matrix and said at least one spatial dimension, with said image content of each of said displayed images being visible in said display format in a form allowing comparative evaluation the respective image content of the displayed images.
