A method is for preparing the appraisal of tomographic colon pictures, in
particular of CT or MR pictures of the colon, in the case of which both a
manual personal search takes place during which the lesions thus detected
are confirmed, and a search for lesions carried out by a computer, if
appropriate with automatic preliminary confirmation, takes place, the
appraising person also rechecking the computer aided preliminary
confirmations. In the method, those lesions that have already been
classified as known and confirmed after a comparison with the set of the
lesions already detected manually are excluded from the set of the
lesions detected with computer assistance and that are to be presented
again for personal confirmation.
