Abstract
Methods and systems for generating and displaying a simulated anatomical photograph based on a medical image generated by an imaging modality. The system comprises an electronic processor configured to receive the medical image, determine an anatomical structure in the medical image, and automatically generate the simulated anatomical photograph based on the anatomical structure, wherein the pixels of the simulated anatomical photograph represent a simulated cross-sectional anatomical photograph of the anatomical structure. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a degree of confidence of a portion of the simulated anatomical photograph, compare the degree of confidence to a threshold, and, in response to the degree of confidence of the portion of the simulated anatomical photograph failing to satisfy the threshold, display the portion of the simulated anatomical photograph differently from another portion of the simulated anatomical photograph.
