Computer-assisted data processing system and method incorporating automated learning
First Claim
1. A computer implemented method for modifying a computer-assisted data operating algorithm, the method comprising:
- analyzing a data set representative of an image via the computer-assisted data operating algorithm to generate a result data set identifying a feature of interest;
monitoring for changes in the result data set based upon input from a human expert;
modifying at least one submodule of the computer-assisted data operating algorithm without operator intervention based upon the changed result data set;
validating a modification of the computer-assisted data operating algorithm prior to modifying the at least one submodule; and
displaying a reconstructed image based upon the result data set.

Abstract
A technique is provided for enhancing performance of computer-assisted data operating algorithms in a medical context. Datasets are compiled and accessed, which may include data from a wide range of resources, including controllable and prescribable resources, such as imaging systems. The datasets are analyzed by a human expert or medical professional, and the algorithms are modified based upon feedback from the human expert or professional. Modifications may be made to a wide range of algorithms and based upon a wide range of data, such as available from an integrated knowledge base. Modifications may be made in sub-modules of the algorithms providing enhanced functionality. Modifications may also be made on various bases, including patient-specific changes, population-specific changes, feature-specific changes, and so forth.
