Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented method of controlling image annotation, using at least one computer system, the method comprising using a processor for: receiving, at the at least one computer system, a digital representation of image data; generating, by the at least one computer system, a plurality of image annotations of anatomic features identified within the image data; determining, by the at least one computer system, one or more associations between members of a set of image annotations of the plurality of image annotations; generating one or more groups of image annotations, each group comprising one or more image annotations among the generated plurality of image annotations and each group being generated based on an association between the image annotations of the group; determining, by the at least one computer system, a representative annotation for each group selected from among the image annotations of the group, the representative annotation being determined as an annotation among the image annotations of the group closest to an aggregation of the image annotations of the group and the representative annotation identifying anatomic features identified within the image data; and presenting, by the at least one computer system, the representative annotation of each group of the one or more groups for selection or correction by a user.
