COMPUTER-AIDED DIAGNOSIS WITH QUERIES BASED ON REGIONS OF INTEREST

摘要

A computer-aided diagnosis system for providing image-processing algorithms that are linked to records with the diagnosed images in a medical database is provided. The algorithms are designed to check characteristic lesion properties, e.g. image appearance or border characteristics. The system is configured to process a region of interest in the image with the algorithms to verify whether the actual lesion characteristics correspond to the diagnosis associated to a related stored lesion. A rating of the diagnostic option, e.g. confirmation or rejection, according to the result and usage of the rating to display possible diagnostic options may be determined.
