ABSTRACT:
Certain embodiments of the present invention provide for a system for medical diagnosis and tracking. In an embodiment, a medical diagnosis and tracking system includes one or more medical imaging devices adapted to create one or more current images. The medical diagnosis and tracking system also includes a historical images archive adapted to storing the one or more current images and/or one or more historical images. The system also includes a three-dimensional subtraction application adapted to create one or more three-dimensional subtracted images by performing three-dimensional subtraction on the one or more current images and the one or more historical images. The medical diagnosis and tracking system also includes a Picture Archiving Communication System (PACS) workstation adapted to display the one or more three-dimensional subtracted images.
