Abstract
To document features of interest observed in a scanning procedure, after the images have been obtained the technician reviews the images on the imaging system and places virtual markers on the images (i.e., the 2D image or 3D volume) created by the imaging system. The virtual markers identify the type and location of the various features of interest observed during the imaging or scanning procedure and are placed directly on the images. Notes can also be added to the images, such as with regard to each of the virtual markers placed on the image. These virtual markers and optional notes communicate additional information regarding the patient and the image in a direct, efficient and comprehensive manner directly to the physician during later review of the images which would not be readily discernable solely from the image.
