METHODS AND APPARATUS FOR RECORDING ANONYMIZED VOLUMETRIC DATA FROM MEDICAL IMAGE VISUALIZATION SOFTWARE

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus for recording anonymized volumetric data from medical image visualization software are disclosed. An example apparatus includes an image anonymizer to anonymize a medical image outside of a region of interest based on an extraction parameter by degrading the medical image outside a region corresponding to the region of interest and maintaining a resolution of the medical image inside the region corresponding to the region of interest, the extraction parameter based on at least one of an image capture parameter or an instruction from a remote system; and an archive generator to generate a compressed local archive based on the anonymized medical image.
