Systems and methods providing automated decision support and medical imaging
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer readable medium embodying instructions executed by a processor to perform a method for providing automated decision support for medical imaging, the method comprising:
- obtaining an image comprising image data;
extracting feature data from the image data; and
automatically assessing an error in the image using the extracted feature data, wherein the error corresponds to a diagnostic quality on the image;
wherein automatically assessing an error is performed by using the extracted feature data to query a database of templates derived from information of known cases to identify similar templates and use information associated with the identified similar templates to determine the diagnostic quality.

Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for processing a medical image to automatically identify the anatomy and view (or pose) from the medical image and automatically assess the diagnostic quality of the medical image. In one aspect a method for automated decision support for medical imaging includes obtaining image data, extracting feature data from the image data, and automatically performing anatomy identification, view identification and/or determining a diagnostic quality of the image data, using the extracted feature data.

14. A computer readable medium embodying instructions executed by a processor to perform a method for providing automated decision support for medical imaging, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an image comprising image data; extracting feature data from the image data; performing an automatic anatomy, identification process using the extracted feature data to label an identified anatomical object in the image data; performing an automatic view identification process using the extracted feature data and results of anatomy identification to label a view of the image data; and performing an automated image quality assessment process using the extracted feature data and results of anatomy and view identification to assess a level of diagnostic quality of the image, wherein the diagnostic quality corresponds to error introduced in an image acquisition process; wherein automatically assessing an error is performed by using the extracted feature data to query a database of templates derived from information of known cases to identify similar templates and use information associated with the identified similar templates to determine the diagnostic quality. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A computer readable medium embodying instructions executed by a processor to perform a method for providing automated decision support for medical imaging, the method comprising:
-
obtaining an image comprising image data; extracting feature data from the image data; and performing an automatic view identification process using the extracted feature data to identify a view of the image; and performing an automated image quality assessment process using the extracted feature data and results of view identification to assess a level of diagnostic quality of the image, wherein the diagnostic quality corresponds to error introduced in an image acquisition process; wherein automatically assessing an error is performed by using the extracted feature data to query a database of templates derived from information of known cases to identify similar templates and use information associated with the identified similar templates to determine the diagnostic quality. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26)
