REPORTING IMAGED PORTIONS OF A PATIENT'S BODY PART

摘要

Described embodiments include a system, method, and computer program product. In a described system, a receiver circuit receives at least two reference images of a patient body part. Each reference image includes a respective landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part, and each imaged landmark subsurface feature has a respective spatial relationship to a respective region of a surface of the patient body part imaged during a medical examination. A feature matching circuit determines a correspondence between (x) each atlas landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part included in a landmark subsurface feature atlas and (y) each respective imaged landmark subsurface feature. A reporting circuit generates informational data reporting a depiction of an area of the surface of the patient body part by at least two adjacent imaged regions of the surface of the patient body part. A communication circuit outputs the informational data.

1. A system, comprising:
(a) a receiver circuit configured to receive at least two reference images of a patient body part, each reference image of the at least two reference images including a respective imaged landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part, each imaged landmark subsurface feature having a respective spatial relationship to a respective imaged region of a surface of the patient body part imaged during a medical examination; (b) a feature matching circuit configured to determine a correspondence between
(x) each atlas landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part of at least two atlas landmark subsurface features of the patient body part included in a landmark subsurface feature atlas; and(y) each respective imaged landmark subsurface feature of the patient body part included in the at least two reference images; (c) a reporting circuit configured to generate informational data reporting a depiction of an area of the surface of the patient body part by at least two adjacent imaged regions of the surface of the patient body part, the informational data at least partially based on the determined correspondence; and (d) a communication circuit configured to output the informational data.
