THUMBNAIL ANIMATION FOR MEDICAL IMAGING

A computer-implemented method of generating a medical imaging thumbnail animation (325) includes obtaining a plurality of medical images (324) from a medical imaging examination, and automatically defining a zone of interest to identify in the plurality of medical images (324). The computer-implemented method also includes identifying, by a processor (1221), the zone of interest in the plurality of medical images (324) using a trained artificial intelligence algorithm, and generating, using a second algorithm, the medical imaging thumbnail animation (325) to simulate movement of a virtual camera on a path in the zone of interest in the plurality of medical images (324).
