ABSTRACT:
A computer apparatus and method for displaying radiological data such as X-rays, CT scans and other similar anatomical sequences in combination with other modalities such as plan views provides functionality which very closely resembles a standard radiological light box. Basic manipulations which occur at the light box by a radiologist or other medical personnel are closely emulated in function to allow medical personnel to stay focussed directly on the anatomical images and thereby avoid distraction and frustration of visually departing from the image in order to accomplish these basic functions. Some of the basic functions disclosed are quick-flip image mirroring, image rotation, panning, on-screen control of the number of images displayed in a mosaic, single drag and drop loading of radiological studies, cines and other functions. A dark and stark display further simulates the light box. A number of benefits and objectives are achieved in the disclosed embodiments which serve to illustrate the invention, in particular maximizing the time a radiologist or other medical personnel spend viewing images and minimizing time spent searching for controls or paging through software pages and pull-down menus.
