Abstract
An object detection apparatus includes a data acquisition system configured to acquire diagnostic data of the subject, an image reconstructor configured to reconstruct at least one image of the subject from the diagnostic data, and a data retrieval device configured to retrieve a first set of bookmarks identifying a first set of objects of interest in the at least one image. The object detection apparatus further includes a computer programmed to display the at least one image on a console and detect input from the user corresponding to a second set of bookmarks identifying a second set of objects of interest in the image. The computer is further programmed to selectively allow the user to incorporate each bookmark of the first set of bookmarks into the second set of bookmarks.
