Abstract

Systems and techniques are disclosed for determination of lesions identified in medical images of differing perspectives. One of the methods includes obtaining images of a breast of a patient, each image being from a perspective, wherein the images include at least a first image and a second image. A skin contour line representing an obliquity of a chest wall of the patient is determined. A posterior nipple line extending from a nipple included in the first image is determined that perpendicularly intersects with the skin contour line. An interactive user interface is presented that includes the posterior nipple line on the first image. Compatibility information for lesions indicated in each of the first and second image is determined, the information indicating whether a first lesion in the first image is a same lesion in the breast as a second lesion in the second image.

Claims (7)

1. A method comprising:

by one or more computer systems,

obtaining a plurality of images of at least a portion of a same body part, each image associated with a different perspective of the body part, wherein the plurality of images include at least a first image and a second image;

determining respective locations of an object included in each the plurality of images;

determining, based on the respective locations and perspectives associated with the images, a mapping between the perspective associated with the first image and the perspective associated with the second image; and

generating, for presentation in an interactive user interface, a graphical representation of the mapping, and presenting the graphical representation on the first image, wherein the graphical representation graphically indicates a degree to which an imaging device was rotated to capture the first image with respect to a position of the imaging device to capture the second image.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein a perspective includes a mediolateral-oblique perspective of the body part or a cranio-caudal perspective of the body part, and wherein the graphical representation indicates a rotation of an imaging device about one or more anatomical planes for the mediolateral-oblique perspective of the body part.
