Abstract
A computer-aided diagnostic method and system provide image annotation information that can include an assessment of the probability, likelihood or predictive value of detected or identified suspected abnormalities as an additional aid to the radiologist. More specifically, probability values, in numerical form and/or analog form, are added to the locational markers of the detected and suspected abnormalities. The task of a physician using such a system as disclosed is believed to be made easier by displaying markers representing different regions of interest.
