DATABASE SYSTEMS AND INTERACTIVE USER INTERFACES FOR DYNAMIC INTERACTION WITH, AND INDICATIONS OF, DIGITAL MEDICAL IMAGE DATA

摘要

Database systems and techniques are disclosed for accessing data stores of digital medical images, processing the digital images, and displaying the digital images to efficiently provide information in an interactive user interface. The disclosure may advantageously provide efficient and rapid dynamic interaction with digital images accessed from one or more databases to enable user detection of differences between related digital images. Interactive user interfaces may be dynamically updated to provide rapid comparison of digital images. Further, digital images from multiple data sources may be automatically sorted by the system according to attributes associated with the images and rules and/or preferences of the user. In an embodiment the user may select a digital image from a first data source, and the system automatically determines and displays one or more comparison images from other image data sources. Images may additionally be automatically registered and/or matched to enable more efficient comparison and evaluation.

主权项

1. A database computing system for processing digital medical images, the computing system comprising:
an electronic display; an input device; and one or more computer processors in communication with the electronic display, the input device, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing software modules including software instructions that are executable by the one or more computer processors in order to cause the one or more computer processors to:
access an image series comprising a plurality of images, wherein at least some of the plurality of images comprise multi-frame images;display a first image of the plurality of images at a location on the electronic display;in response to a first input, received via the input device, display a frame of a second image of the plurality of images at the location on the electronic display, wherein the frame of the second image replaces the first image on the electronic display, wherein the second image comprises a multi-frame image;in response to a second input, received via the input device:
create a copy of the frame of the second image; andadd the copy of the frame of the second image to the image series as a new image; andsort the image series such that the new image is located adjacent to the second image in the image series.
