  • Patent number: 9984457
    Abstract: Methods, systems, workstations, viewers, grossing stations and computer include a display and a viewer circuit configured to cause the display to concurrently display: (i) a macroscopic view of a grossing specimen with virtual cut location marks associated with orientation and location of actual physical cut locations used to obtain tissue samples from the grossing specimen and (ii) at least one digital microscopic whole-slide image (WSI) of a tissue section from the specimen. The display can show the at least one WSI image on the display with a relevant cut location mark on the macroscopic view shown visually enhanced from other cut location marks on the macroscopic view to thereby allow a user to visually connect where the tissue section in the WSI image was obtained during a grossing procedure.

  • Patent number: 8051386
    Abstract: Systems, processors and methods display image views of stacks or volume image data and allow a user to navigate the data and/or views using CAD findings. The systems, methods or processors can generate vicinity CAD marks that have an appearance that varies depending (a) the proximity to the suspected abnormality and/or (b) the navigation direction required to move to the suspected abnormality. The visual appearance of a respective vicinity CAD mark in a view can correspond to proximity of the related suspected abnormality to a current view, whereby the vicinity CAD marks have higher intensity, color saturation, size, or other more dominant visual characteristic in views close to the suspected abnormality and lower intensity, color saturation, smaller size or other less dominant visual characteristic in views further away from the suspected abnormality.

  • Patent number: 8044972
    Abstract: Systems and methods that visualize medical data having image rendering circuits configured to substantially concurrently display a first image view of breast tissue using a stack of primary tomosynthesis image data and a second image view of breast tissue using a reference image data set, the second image view rendered from at least one of a 2D X-ray mammogram reference image data set or a reference stack of tomosynthesis image data. The first view is visualized based on: (a) anatomical and/or geometric position properties of the reference image data set of the patient; (b) properties of a current view of the reference image data set of the patient; or (c) anatomical and/or geometric position properties of the reference image data set and properties of a current view of the reference image data set.

  • Patent number: 7992100
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating images of respective patients from multi-dimensional medical image data sets include a processor circuit in communication with a display having a graphic user interface (GUI), the processor circuit configured to define at least one grouping of a subset of slices selected from slices in a medical data stack, then generate and display at least one slabbed view based on the at least one grouping of slices.
