IMAGE ANALYSIS FOR ASSESSING IMAGE DATA
First Claim
1. An imaging system, comprising:
- data acquisition circuitry configured to generate one or more images that are transmitted directly or indirectly to a remote processing resource configured to execute a plurality of services which each evaluate the one or more images for a different type of non-conformity;
an operator interface and display configured to execute an application that displays identified non-conformities of the one or more images identified by the remote processing resource.

Abstract
The present approach relates to providing image quality feedback to personnel (e.g., a technician) acquiring non-invasive images in real-time or near real-time. By way of example, the proposed approach may automatically assess the quality of images in real-time by evaluating the images for the presence or absence of non-conformities using processor-implemented, rule-based algorithms running partly or completely in parallel to one another. The proposed approach improves the image analysis pipeline by efficiently providing notification of and/or discarding low-quality or unsuitable images or exams after they are taken, such as in within seconds or minutes.

9. An image analysis architecture, comprising:
-
an application interface configured to be displayed at the site of an imaging system and to facilitate the transfer of one or more image files to a remote processing resource; a plurality of services executable on the remote processing resource, wherein at least a portion of the services are configured to execute in parallel and wherein each service is configured to analyze the one or more image files for a respective type of non-conformity and to provide a notification of any identified non-conformities via the application interface. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A method for remotely assessing image quality, comprising:
-
receiving an image of a patient or object generated at a site of an imaging system; processing the image using a plurality of image quality analysis services, at least a portion of which execute in parallel, wherein the image quality service analytics are executed on a network-based architecture physical remote form the site of the imaging system; transmitting one or more notifications of non-conformities identified by the image quality analysis services to the site of the imaging system in less than a minute from the time the image was acquired. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
