Abstract
A system for selecting points of interest on an anatomical image includes a main image display; a touch-screen display; a processing unit; and a network configured to interface the processing unit with the main image display and with the touch-screen display. An image displayed on the main display is concurrently displayed on the touch-screen display. The touch-screen display and the main image display concurrently display anatomical points of interest and the touch-screen display is configured to enable selecting anatomical points of interest by touching the points of interest on the touch-screen display. Touching of the points of interest can be effected by a user touching the touch-screen display, by a stylus, by a light pen, by a mouse, by a track ball, and by a joystick control. A corresponding method is also disclosed. Quantitative results are displayed on the main display.
