Abstract:
During an analysis technique, a three-dimensional (3D) image of a portion of an individual is iteratively transformed to facilitate accurate determination of detailed multi-point annotation of an anatomical structure. In particular, for a given marker point, in response to receiving information specifying a two-dimensional (2D) plane having an angular position in the 3D image, the 3D image is translated and rotated from an initial position and orientation so that the 2D plane is presented in an orientation parallel to a reference 2D plane of a display. Then, after annotation information specifying the detailed annotation in the 2D plane of the given marker point is received, the 3D image is translated and rotated back to the initial position and orientation. These operations may be repeated for one or more other marker points.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for facilitating detailed multi-point annotation of an anatomical structure, the method comprising:\n by a computer: providing, on a display, a first three-dimensional (3D) image of a portion of an individual, wherein the first 3D image has an initial position and an initial orientation; receiving information specifying a first two-dimensional (2D) plane in the first 3D image, wherein the first 2D plane has an angular position relative to the initial orientation; translating and rotating the first 3D image so that the first 2D plane is presented on a reference 2D plane of the display with an orientation parallel to the reference 2D plane, wherein, prior to the translating and the rotating, the angular position of the first 2D plane is different from an angular position of the reference 2D plane and is different from a predefined orientation of slices in the first 3D image; receiving annotation information specifying detailed annotation in the first 2D plane of a first marker point; after the annotation of the first marker point is complete, providing, on the display, a second 3D image of the portion of the individual, wherein the second 3D image is generated by translating image data along a normal direction to the first 2D plane by a predefined distance; receiving annotation information specifying detailed annotation in a second 2D plane of a second marker point; and after the annotation of the second marker point is complete, translating and rotating the second 3D image back to the initial position and the initial orientation.
