1. A computer-implemented method of generating a medical imaging thumbnail animation, comprising:
obtaining a plurality of medical images from a medical imaging examination;
automatically defining a zone of interest to identify in the plurality of medical images;
identifying, by a processor, the zone of interest in the plurality of medical images using a trained artificial intelligence algorithm;
generating, using a second algorithm, the medical imaging thumbnail animation to simulate movement of a virtual camera on a path in the zone of interest in the plurality of medical images
wherein generating the animation comprises identifying a respective anchor point within the zone of interest in each image, and wherein the anchor points serve as centers of crops of the images, and wherein each crop forms a thumbnail frame of the thumbnail animation, and wherein the anchor points together define said path in the zone of interest.
