Abstract

Method for labeling a vessel in a medical image record includes receiving, at one or more computing devices, the medical image record, the medical image record including a camera angle; analyzing, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record to locate and identify one or more vessels, wherein analyzing the medical image record is based on edge detection, one or more anatomical landmarks in the medical image record, and the camera angle; and displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record including a label associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

Claims (30)

1 ) A method of labeling a vessel in a medical image record, comprising:

receiving, at one or more computing devices, the medical image record, the medical image record including a camera angle;

analyzing, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record to locate and identify one or more vessels, wherein analyzing the medical image record is based on edge detection, one or more anatomical landmarks in the medical image record, and the camera angle; and

displaying, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record including a label associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

2 ) The method of claim 1 , wherein the medical image record comprises a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (“DICOM”) Service-Object Pair Instance.

3 ) The method of claim 2 , wherein the medical image record and label comprise a DICOM Secondary Capture Image Information Objection Definition.

4 ) The method of claim 1 , wherein the vessel is one of a blood vessel, a bile duct, and a ureter.

5 ) The method of claim 1 , further comprising identifying a region of interest associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

6 ) The method of claim 5 , further comprising labeling the region of interest.

7 ) The method of claim 5 , further comprising retrieving additional information related to the region of interest.

8 ) One or more computer readable non-transitory storage media embodying software that is operable when executed to:

receive, at one or more computing devices, a medical image record, the medical image record including a camera angle;

analyze, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record to locate and identify one or more vessels, wherein analyzing the medical image record is based on edge detection, one or more anatomical landmarks in the medical image record, and the camera angle; and

display, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record including a label associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

9 ) The media of claim 8 , wherein the medical image record comprises a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (“DICOM”) Service-Object Pair Instance.

10 ) The media of claim 9 , wherein the medical image record and label comprise a DICOM Secondary Capture Image Information Objection Definition.

11 ) The media of claim 8 , wherein the vessel is one of a blood vessel, a bile duct, and a ureter.

12 ) The media of claim 8 , wherein the software is further operable to identify a region of interest associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

13 ) The media of claim 12 , wherein the software is further operable to label the region of interest.

14 ) The media of claim 12 , wherein the software is further operable to retrieve additional information related to the region of interest.

15 ) A system comprising: one or more processors; and a memory coupled to the processors comprising instructions executable by the processors, the processors being operable when executing the instructions to:

receive, at one or more computing devices, a medical image record, the medical image record including a camera angle;

analyze, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record to locate and identify one or more vessels, wherein analyzing the medical image record is based on edge detection, one or more anatomical landmarks in the medical image record, and the camera angle; and

display, at the one or more computing devices, the medical image record including a label associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

16 ) The system of claim 15 , wherein the medical image record comprises a Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine (“DICOM”) Service-Object Pair Instance.

17 ) The system of claim 16 , wherein the medical image record and label comprise a DICOM Secondary Capture Image Information Objection Definition.

18 ) The system of claim 15 , wherein the vessel is one of a blood vessel, a bile duct, and a ureter.

19 ) The system of claim 15 , wherein the processors are further operable to identify a region of interest associated with at least one of the one or more vessels.

20 ) The system of claim 19 , wherein the processors are further operable to label the region of interest.

21 ) The system of claim 19 , wherein the processors are further operable to retrieve additional information related to the region of interest.
