METHOD AND SYSTEM OF DEFINING A REGION OF INTEREST ON MEDICAL SCAN IMAGES

摘要

A method, medical imaging workstation (1000) and hybrid medical imaging scanner (1100) are provided for defining a region of interest (RoI) for display on at least two medical scan images. When displaying a first medical scan image (740), input data defining a RoI 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 on each of multiple image displays (820, 830, 880) to feed through to all medical scan images.

1. A method of defining a region of interest for display on at least two medical scan images, each medical scan image comprising corresponding content, the method comprising:
displaying a first medical scan image; capturing first input data from a user, the input data defining a region of interest on the first medical scan image; storing the captured input data as a first region representation; displaying the region of interest on a second medical scan image, based on the first region representation; capturing second input data from the user, the second input data comprising changes to the region of interest displayed on the second medical scan image; updating the first region representation in accordance with the changes, on the basis of the second input data.
