Registering Regions of interest(ROIs) in multiple medical scan images

摘要

A method, medical imaging workstation and hybrid medical imaging scanner are provided for defining a region of interest (Rol) for display on at least two medical scan images. When displaying a first medical scan image 740, input data defining a Rol on the image is captured and stored as at least a first region representation 760. The RoI is displayed on a second medical scan image 750 based on the first region representation 760. Changes to the RoI on the second medical scan image 750 are used to update the first region representation 760. There may be separate region representations 760, 770 associated with each of several medical scan images. The invention may improve the definition of a region of interest, by allowing editing of the definition on any of multiple image displays (B20, 830, 880) to feed through to all medical scan images.
