Guided Mark-Up
Metron supports a process we call “Guided Mark-Up” in order to provide a uniform way
to analyze certain types of images. For example, if you have a lateral radiograph of the
cervical spine or of the lumbar spine, or an AP image of the spine, or of the pelvis,
Metron supports guided mark-up of these images.
The idea in guided mark-up is to follow the instructions and pick the key points in the
image as Metron guides you to. Then, Metron computes several parameters from these
points that were picked. Then, you choose which set of measurements you wish to
display overlaid on the image. Selecting all makes quite a cluttered image, so generally
you select 1 to 4 measurements that are of importance for the particular case.
Appendix D provides a step-by-step illustration of the guided markup process using a real
lateral lumbar spine radiograph as an example.
Sample guided mark-up results for the cervical spine. This image shows just 1 of 10
measurements that Metron reports for this analysis.
