An embodiment method for marking an anomaly in an image comprises generating an initial boundary description representing a size, a shape and a location of the anomaly in the image, dilating the initial boundary description to generate a dilated boundary description representing the shape, the location and an enlarged size of the initial boundary description, and saving, on a non-transitory computer-readable medium, the dilated boundary description as an overlay plane object in an output format compliant with a industry standard digital image format.
