Abstract: An image reporting method is provided. The image reporting method comprises the steps of retrieving an image representation of a sample structure from an image source; mapping a generic structure to the sample structure, the generic structure being related to the sample structure; determining a region of interest within the sample structure based on content of the image representation of the sample structure; providing a focused set of representations of diagnostic knowledge which is contextually appropriate to the region of interest and prompting the user to select at least one diagnostic finding from the focused set of knowledge representation or by entering free-form text; and generating a diagnostic report based on the selections and free-form text entries.
