  • Computerized apparatus and method for displaying X-rays and the like for radiological analysis and manipulation and transmission of data
    Patent number: 6177937
    Abstract: A computer apparatus and method for displaying radiological data such as X-rays, CT scans and other similar anatomical sequences in combination with other modalities such as plan views provides functionality which very closely resembles a standard radiological light box. Basic manipulations which occur at the light box by a radiologist or other medical personnel are closely emulated in function to allow medical personnel to stay focussed directly on the anatomical images and thereby avoid distraction and frustration of visually departing from the image in order to accomplish these basic functions. Some of the basic functions disclosed are quick-flip image mirroring, image rotation, panning, on-screen control of the number of images displayed in a mosaic, single drag and drop loading of radiological studies, cines and other functions. A dark and stark display further simulates the light box.
    Type: Grant
