Diagnostic imaging system for skin and affliction assessment
A captured image is received depicting at least a portion of an assessment tool and an affliction to which the assessment tool is proximally located. An assessment image is generated from the captured image and configured to be presented on a display, the assessment image including at least a portion of the captured image including the portion of the assessment tool and the affliction to which the assessment tool is proximally located. The assessment tool includes at least a first arm depicting measurement indicators to which a size of the affliction is correlated. The captured image is processed to identify at least one dimension of the affliction. The dimension is compared to the measurement indicators depicted on the first arm of the assessment tool to determine the size of the affliction.

8. The diagnostic imaging system of claim 1 , the executable operations further comprising:
presenting at least one form on the display, the form configured to receive user inputs related to the affliction;
receiving at least one user input entering data into a field of the form or selecting a user selectable field of the form; and
based on the user input, automatically assigning a medical score to the affliction.
9. The diagnostic imaging system of claim 1 , the executable operations further comprising:
presenting at least one form on the display, the form configured to receive user inputs related to the affliction;
receiving at least one user input selecting at least a first user selectable field presented in the form; and
based on the user input selecting the first user selectable field, automatically presenting at least a second user selectable field in the form that corresponds to the first user selectable field.
10. The diagnostic imaging system of claim 1 , the executable operations further comprising:
presenting at least one form on the display, the form configured to receive user inputs related to the affliction;
receiving at least one user input selecting at least a first user selectable field presented in the form; and
based on the user input selecting the first user selectable field, automatically distinguishing at least a second field presented in the form that is not applicable to the affliction from at least a third field presented in the form that is applicable to the affliction.
11. A method comprising:
receiving a captured image depicting at least a portion of an assessment tool and an affliction to which the assessment tool is proximally located;
generating an assessment image from the captured image and configuring the assessment image to be presented on a display, the assessment image comprising at least a portion of the captured image including the portion of the assessment tool and the affliction to which the assessment tool is proximally located, the assessment tool comprising at least a first arm, the first arm depicting measurement indicators to which a size of the affliction is correlated; and
processing, using a processor, the captured image to identify at least one dimension of the affliction and comparing the identified at least one dimension of the affliction to the measurement indicators depicted on the first arm of the assessment tool to determine the size of the affliction.
12. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
presenting an annotation on the display with the presented image, the annotation indicating the size of the affliction.
13. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
identifying the correlation between the size of the affliction and the measurement indicators and, based on the identified correlation, assigning a medical score to the affliction.
14. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
prompting a user to indicate a type of the assessment tool; and
identifying a correlation between the size of the affliction and the measurement indicators based on the indicated type of the assessment tool.
15. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
presenting on the display, proximate to the assessment image, at least one view comprising a plurality of fields that prompt a user to enter or select information related to the affliction;
receiving from the user at least one user input corresponding to the affliction; and
storing the at least one user input to the at least one computer-readable storage medium as affliction assessment data.
16. The method of claim 11 , wherein the assessment tool further comprises at least a second arm, the second arm depicting additional measurement indicators to which the size of the affliction in correlated, the method further comprising:
processing the captured image to identify at least a second dimension of the affliction and comparing the identified at least second dimension of the affliction to the additional measurement indicators depicted on the second arm of the assessment tool to determine the size of the affliction.
17. The method of claim 11 , further comprising:
presenting at least one form on the display, the form configured to receive user inputs related to the affliction;
