Abstract

A medical imaging system includes image acquisition circuitry, a memory, and a processor coupled to the image acquisition circuitry and memory. The processor executes a physiologic marker program out of the memory. The marker program obtains physiologic marker definitions for events shown in a first dataset image, determines physiologic markers associated with the marker definitions, and superimposes the physiologic markers on a second dataset image that does not necessarily show the event.
