Abstract
A data structure for use by a computer system for processing medical image data and representing at least one first region of a patient includes at least one computer-detected feature of interest. The data structure includes a first computer code that is executable to detect first data representing at least one second region included within a respective first region. At least one said feature of interest in said second region has a significant likelihood of representing a computer-detected false positive. The second computer code is executable to provide second data for enabling at least one said first region to be displayed on a display device, such that at least one said second region is displayed on the display apparatus differently from part of said first region not containing features of interest having a significant likelihood of representing computer-detected false positives.
