DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Longer-term objective is to develop a commercial internet-based collaborative image annotation system that will be used by physicians in both clinical and clinical trials settings. This software will accomplish two goals. First, it will significantly enhance the objectivity, ease and accuracy in reading, interpreting and tracking areas of pathology in an image. Second, it will facilitate effective collaboration among physicians and support personnel at multiple clinical centers. This software will embody three technological innovations: rich annotations tied to areas of pathology in an image; web-browser based markings of images and automated computation of physical properties; and collaborative technology to securely retrieve, store and search rich annotations. Phase I and II will focus on research and development of this technology with ophthalmic images. Research approach is to: Collect functional and technical requirements from two sources the Fundus Photography Reading Center (FPRC) in Madison, WI, and Univ. of Florida Ophthalmology (UFO) in Jacksonville, FL; design and develop the collaborative image annotation system with Ophthalmic images; beta test the application at FPRC and UFO. Benefits will be: superior quality data through objective reading, interpretation and tracking (over multiple visits) of areas of pathology in images; faster turn around on image reading and interpretation through paperless, web-based user-friendly system; and easier searching, statistical analysis and documentation of results. Potential commercial applications are: Ophthalmology reading centers; Collaboration system for clinical trials in image related medical areas; Clinical diagnosis, treatment and monitoring of diseases based on sequential imaging, Computer-based instruction, training and testing on image related medical topics.

描述（由申请人提供）：长期目标是开发一种商业化的基于互联网的协作图像注释系统，供医生在临床和临床试验环境中使用。该软件将实现两个目标。首先，它将显著增强阅读、解释和跟踪图像中病理区域的客观性、简易性和准确性。其次，它将促进多个临床中心的医生和支持人员之间的有效合作。该软件将体现三项技术创新：与图像中病理区域相关的丰富注释;基于网络浏览器的图像标记和物理特性自动计算;以及安全检索、存储和搜索丰富注释的协作技术。第一阶段和第二阶段将专注于研究和开发这项技术与眼科图像。 研究方法是：从两个来源收集功能和技术要求：位于威斯康星州麦迪逊的眼底摄影阅读中心（FPRC）和位于佛罗里达州杰克逊维尔的佛罗里达大学眼科（UFO）;设计和开发具有眼科图像的协作图像注释系统;在FPRC和UFO进行应用程序beta测试。 好处将是：通过对图像中的病理区域进行客观阅读、解释和跟踪（多次访问），获得上级质量数据;通过无纸化、基于网络的用户友好系统，加快图像阅读和解释的周转速度;更容易搜索、统计分析和记录结果。 潜在的商业应用是：眼科阅读中心;图像相关医学领域临床试验的协作系统;基于序列成像的疾病临床诊断、治疗和监测;基于计算机的教学、图像相关医学主题的培训和测试。
