COMPUTER APPARATUS FOR MEDICAL IMAGE ANALYSIS AND PRESCRIPTIONS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer apparatus to analyze a patient'"'"'s diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images for pathology and generate a prescription comprising:
- (a) a non-transitory memory configured to receive one or more diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images of a patient;
(b) a program stored in the non-transitory memory and operatively configured to analyze said images for a region that suggests a pathology; and
(c) a computer processor in communication with the non-transitory memory and configured to perform the program by executing computer executable instructions, wherein the program is operatively configured to automatically generate a prescription based at least in part on the analysis.

Abstract
Image processing and analysis technique includes using a computer apparatus to identify a region of pathology in a patient'"'"'s magnetic resonance images and then automatically generating a prescription based on the identification of the pathology. Examples include an apparatus that identifies a region of acute infarction and prescribes additional scanning, a magnetic resonance angiographic sequence, and/or a perfusion sequence.
