First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for image quality scoring of an image from a medical scanner, the method comprising:
- generating, by the medical scanner, the image representing a patient, the image having a level of artifacts due to the generating by the medical scanner;
determining, by a machine, a probability map of artifacts as a function of location for the image with a deep generative machine-learnt model;
assigning, by the machine, a quality score for the image with application of the probability map to a discriminative machine-learnt classifier; and
transmitting the quality score for the image of the patient.

Abstract
For image quality scoring of an image from a medical scanner, a generative model of an expected good quality image may be created using deep machine-learning. The deviation of an input image from the generative model is used as an input feature vector for a discriminative model. The discriminative model may also operate on another input feature vector derived from the input image. Based on these input feature vectors, the discriminative model outputs an image quality score.
