ANATOMICAL TAGGING OF FINDINGS IN IMAGE DATA OF SERIAL STUDIES

摘要

A clinical findings management system enables a clinician to review medical diagnostic images and mark or "tag" locations of suspect anatomy in the images. The tagged findings of a review are stored in association with a particular patient particular anatomy and location in the anatomy as marked by the placement of the tag. Serial studies performed of the particular anatomy over time are compared and the evolving diagnostic data of a particular finding is accumulated and saved. The clinician is thus able to recall the diagnostic history of a particular finding resulting from studies of the anatomy performed over time.
