Abstract
A method and system for enhancing the display of computer-aided detection marks on a medical image without obscuring underlying details are disclosed. A medical image is obtained and processed by a computer-aided detection (CAD) algorithm. The image is displayed or printed with its corresponding CAD-detected regions superimposed on the image. In one embodiment, the characteristics of the CAD-detected region will be enhanced in order to emphasis the suspicious image features. In another embodiment, a region surrounding the CAD-detection regions will be brighten with enhanced contrast by brightening the pixels associated with that region as compared to the rest of the image so that region surrounding the CAD-detected region clearly stands out. When viewed on a display, the user can toggle the CAD-detected region enhancements on or off. Further, the CAD-detected regions can be cropped from the medical image to further improve the visibility of image attributes.
