ABSTRACT:
Systems and graphical user interfaces for analyzing body images. In an exemplary embodiment, the present invention provides a graphical user interface having a display coupled to a microprocessing device and a memory device. The graphical user interface has an electronic representation of a first body image and a second body image and an electronic map representing the position of nodules on the first body image and second body image.
