Systems and methods for medical image presentation in multiple contexts
This disclosure relates to a system that synchronizes the presentation of medical images in multiple contexts and methods thereof. The system includes a variety of contexts that display medical images, and the contexts are connected by communication channels. When a user edits or otherwise interacts with one of the contexts, a message is sent to other contexts via the communication channels, and the other contexts can adjust their presentation of medical images to achieve synchronization.
1. A method for presenting medical images in a plurality of contexts, the method comprising:
processing user interactions with a presentation of one or more first medical images of a subject organ or tissue in a local context, wherein the one or more first medical images reflect a view of the subject organ or tissue from a first perspective and captured at a first time;
generating a message based, at least in part, on processing the user interactions;
transmitting the message for synchronization with one or more remote contexts, wherein one or more second medical images of the subject organ or tissue are presented in the one or more remote contexts and wherein the one or more second medical images reflect a view of the subject organ or tissue from a second perspective and captured at a second time;
obtaining one or more messages originated from the one or more remote contexts; and
processing the obtained one or more messages to synchronize the presentation of the one or more first medical images in the local context in accordance with the first and second perspectives and the first and second times, so that changes of the subject organ or tissue over time are presented consistently.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the local context includes at least one of a Web browser, tab, frame, or window for displaying information on a display device.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the one or more messages are obtained responsive to the transmitted message for synchronization.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the message includes attributes of annotative element(s) applied to the presentation of the one or more medical images in the local context.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the annotative elements include at least one of a label, shape, or text.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein processing the obtained one or more messages to synchronize the presentation of the one or more first medical images in the local context in accordance with the first and second perspectives and the first and second times comprises automatically reflecting one or more annotative elements consistently between the one or more second medical images presented in the one or more remote contexts and the one or more first medical images presented in the local context.
7. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing contents that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform actions comprising:
processing user interactions with a presentation of one or more first medical images of a subject organ or tissue in a local context, wherein the one or more first medical images reflect a view of the subject organ or tissue from a first perspective and captured at a first time;
generating a message based, at least in part, on processing the user interactions;
transmitting the message for synchronization with one or more remote contexts, wherein one or more second medical images of the subject organ or tissue are presented in the one or more remote contexts and wherein the one or more second medical images reflect a view of the subject organ or tissue from a second perspective and captured at a second time;
obtaining one or more messages originated from the one or more remote contexts; and
processing the obtained one or more messages to synchronize the presentation of the one or more first medical images in the local context in accordance with the first and second perspectives and the first and second times, so that changes of the subject organ or tissue over time are presented consistently.
8. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the local context includes at least one of a Web browser, tab, frame, or window for displaying information on a display device.
9. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the one or more messages are obtained responsive to the transmitted message for synchronization.
10. The computer-readable medium of claim 7 , wherein the message includes attributes of annotative element(s) applied to the presentation of the one or more medical images in the local context.
11. The computer-readable medium of claim 10 , wherein the annotative elements include at least one of a label, shape, or text.
12. A system, comprising:
one or more processors; and
memory storing contents that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform actions comprising:
processing user interactions with a presentation of one or more first medical images of a subject organ or tissue in a local context, wherein the one or more first medical images reflect a view of the subject organ or tissue from a first perspective and captured at a first time;
generating a message based, at least in part, on processing the user interactions;
transmitting the message for synchronization with one or more remote contexts, wherein one or more second medical images of the subject organ or tissue are presented in the one or more remote contexts and wherein the one or more second medical images reflect a view of the subject organ or tissue from a second perspective and captured at a second time;
obtaining one or more messages originated from the one or more remote contexts; and
processing the obtained one or more messages to synchronize the presentation of the one or more first medical images in the local context in accordance with the first and second perspectives and the first and second times, so that changes of the subject organ or tissue over time are presented consistently.
13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the local context includes at least one of a Web browser, tab, frame, or window for displaying information on a display device.
14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the one or more messages are obtained responsive to the transmitted message for synchronization.
15. The system of claim 12 , wherein the message includes attributes of annotative element(s) applied to the presentation of the one or more medical images in the local context.
16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the annotative elements include at least one of a label, shape, or text.
