    Abstract: A method includes obtaining, in electronic format, an image (102) including a medical image display region (104) and an information display region (106). The at least one of the medical image display region or the information display region includes graphical indicia representing at least one of an annotation (110, 112, 114, 116) or alphanumeric information (118, 120, 122, 124, 126, 128, 130, 132, 134, 136, 138, 140). The method further includes evaluating pixels of the image to identify pixels including the graphical indicia representing an annotation or alphanumeric information of interest in the image. The method further includes extracting the annotation or alphanumeric information of interest from the identified graphical indicia from the image. The method further includes inserting the extracted annotation or alphanumeric information of interest in an electronically formatted clinical report for the image.

    Abstract: A robotic control system employs a robot unit (10) and a control unit (20). The robot unit (10) includes an endoscope (12) for generating an endoscope image (14), and a robot (11) for moving the endoscope (12) within an anatomical region. The control unit (20) includes an endoscope controller (22) for a determination of an endoscope pose within the anatomical region for an intraoperative visualization of the anatomical feature within the endoscope image (14), wherein the endoscope path is derived from a delineation of a volume coordinate position of the anatomical feature within a pre-operative image (43) of the anatomical region. The control unit (20) further includes a robot controller (21) for commanding the robot (11) to move the endoscope (12) to the endoscope pose within the anatomical region to visualize the anatomical feature within the endoscope image (14).
