Abstract
An intuitive user interface is provided that allows for selection of an abnormality level in features in a medical image on the basis of graphical depictions of the abnormalities themselves. In one embodiment, the user interface displays realistic images of actual abnormalities in a series ranging from least severe to most severe and the medical practitioner selects the abnormality level by mouse-clicking on one of the images. The user interface then displays an annotated map of suspected abnormalities with annotations only on those suspected abnormalities that are at least as severe as the selected abnormality. In alternative embodiments, the user interface displays stylized images of the abnormalities plotted by the display using mathematical functions. In yet another alternative, the images are hand-drawn images.
