20100201714 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIEWING MEDICAL IMAGES - For certain medical images, it is important and/or required that a user view all of a medical image at full resolution so that minute, but important, indicia in the medical image are not missed. A computing systems monitor the portions of the medical image that are displayed on the display device, notates those portions that have been displayed at full resolution (or other user-defined display parameters), and provides the user with information indicating portions that have not been viewed at full resolution and/or provides information indicating for which images of a multiple image examination full pixel display has been accomplished. The process reduces the possibility of missing an abnormality in a medical image due to the viewer not viewing a portion of the image at full resolution or using other user-defined display parameters. | 08-12-2010 |
20110016430 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR INTERLEAVING SERIES OF MEDICAL IMAGES - After selecting two or more image series for comparison, images of the image series are interleaved so that they are alternatively displayed in a comparison pane on a display device. In one embodiment, after one or more image series are selected for comparison, an interleaved image series is created containing each of the images of the one or more selected image series, or, alternatively, the interleaved image series comprises links to the images arranged in the interleaved pattern. If differences exist in the images of the multiple image series, these differences may be more easily detectable as the display device cycles between the images. Comparison of images in an interleaved image series may be more advantageous if the images of each selected image series are of a common anatomical area, common image size, and the images are in the same order. | 01-20-2011 |
20110071387 | MEDICAL IMPLANT DEVICE AND PROBE DEVICE HAVING UP AND/OR DOWN CONVERSION MOLECULES AND METHOD OF MAKING THE SAME - A medical device includes a device core and fluorescing molecules attached to the device core. The medical device may be formed in a variety of ways, including providing a medical device and coating at least a portion of the device with a polymer containing the fluorescing molecules, attaching a container containing the fluorescing molecules to a medical device, or molding a medical device from a polymer that includes the fluorescing molecules. | 03-24-2011 |
20110267339 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIEWING MEDICAL 3D IMAGING VOLUMES - A method of automatically tracking the portions of a 3D medical imaging volume, such as the voxels, that have already been displayed according to use-defined display parameters, notating those portions, and providing the user with information indicating what portions of the imaging volume have been displayed at full resolution. | 11-03-2011 |

20120130223 | ANNOTATION AND ASSESSMENT OF IMAGES - Annotations of medical images may be generated using one or more lexicons so that terminology is consistent across multiple exams, users, facilities, etc. Measurements of lesions may be provided using a bilinear measurement tool that allows easier bilinear measurements. Disease assessment models may be selected and applied as measurements are acquired in order to provide immediate determination of disease staging according to one or more selected assessment models. | 05-24-2012 |
20120194540 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MATCHING, NAMING, AND DISPLAYING MEDICAL IMAGES - A method of matching medical images according to user-defined matches rules. In one embodiment, the matched medical images are displayed according user-defined display rules such that the matched medical images may be visually compared in manner that is suitable to the viewer's viewing preferences. | 08-02-2012 |
20130083023 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIEWING MEDICAL 3D IMAGING VOLUMES - A method of automatically tracking the portions of a 3D medical imaging volume, such as the voxels, that have already been displayed according to use-defined display parameters, notating those portions, and providing the user with information indicating what portions of the imaging volume have been displayed at full resolution. | 04-04-2013 |
