Systems and methods for rendering digital images
Systems and methods for presenting a sequence of medical images are provided herein. A use provides an input which indicates that additional frames are to be displayed. Frames from the sequence are displayed in succession, without skipping the display of any frames, based on a frame rate determined by an input provided by a user.
1. A method of presenting a plurality of frames from a sequence of medical images at a client device, the method comprising:
displaying, on a display device, a first frame from a sequence of images;
receiving, via an input device, an indication to display at least second and third adjacent frames from the sequence of images, wherein the indication is a movement of a pointing device outside of a boundary of the first frame in a user interface;
determining a frame rate for displaying the at least second and third adjacent frames based on the indication received from the input device;
displaying, on the display device, the at least second and third adjacent frames in accordance with the frame rate.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least second and third adjacent frames immediately succeed the first frame in the sequence of images.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least second and third adjacent frames immediately precede the first frame in the sequence of images.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is a command to scroll in a first direction at a first rate.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is a movement of a pointing device in a first direction at a first speed.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the at least second and third frames are displayed at a frame rate less than or equal to a predefined maximum frame rate when the pointing device is outside of the boundary of a frame being displayed.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the indication is a pressing and holding of a key on the input device.
8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the received indication is a first indication, and wherein the method comprises:
receiving a second indication subsequent to the first indication.
9. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
modifying the frame rate based on the second indication.
10. A computing device for presenting frames of a sequence of medical images, the computing device comprising:
a processor;
a display device;
an input device;
a memory having stored thereon processor-executable instructions for:
displaying, on the display device, a first frame from a sequence of images;
receiving, via the input device, an indication to display at least second and third adjacent frames from the sequence of images, wherein the indication is a movement of a pointing device outside of a boundary of the first frame in a user interface;
determining a frame rate for displaying the at least second and third adjacent frames based on the indication received from the input device;
displaying, on the display device, the at least second and third adjacent frames in accordance with the frame rate.
11. A system for presenting a sequence of medical images, the system comprising:
a server comprising a processor and a memory storing a sequence of medical images comprising a plurality of frames; and
a client device comprising:
a processor;
a network interface;
a display device;
an input device;
a memory having stored thereon processor-executable instructions for:
receiving, via the network interface, two or more frames of the sequence of medical images;
displaying, on the display device, a first frame from the received sequence of images;
receiving, via the input device, an indication to display at least second and third adjacent frames from the received sequence of images, wherein the indication is a movement of a pointing device outside of a boundary of the first frame in a user interface;
determining a frame rate for displaying the at least second and third adjacent frames based on the indication received from the input device; and
displaying, on the display device, the at least second and third adjacent frames in accordance with the frame rate.
12. The method of claim 1 , wherein the frame rate for displaying the at least second and third adjacent frames is based on a characteristic associated with the indication received from the input device.
13. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the frame rate for displaying the at least second and third adjacent frames is based on a characteristic associated with the indication received from the input device.
14. The system of claim 11 , wherein the frame rate for displaying the at least second and third adjacent frames is based on a characteristic associated with the indication received from the input device.
15. The computing device of claim 10 , wherein the at least second and third frames are displayed at a frame rate less than or equal to a predefined maximum frame rate when the pointing device is outside of the boundary of a frame being displayed.
16. The computing device of claim 11 , wherein the at least second and third frames are displayed at a frame rate less than or equal to a predefined maximum frame rate when the pointing device is outside of the boundary of a frame being displayed.
