Methods and systems for assessing image quality in modeling of patient anatomic or blood flow characteristics
First Claim
1. A method for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, using a computer system, the method comprising:
- receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy;
determining, using a processor of the computer system, one or more image properties of the received images, wherein the one or more image properties define either an entirety of one of the received images or a plurality of the received images;
performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images;
obtaining, for a selected one of the received images, an identification of one or more image characteristics of the selected one of the received images, where the one or more image characteristics are associated with an anatomic feature of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the anatomic localization or modeling; and
calculating, using a processor of the computer system, an image quality score for the selected one of the received images based on the one or more image properties and the one or more image characteristics of the selected one of the received images.

Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, using a computer system. One method includes receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; determining, using a processor of the computer system, one or more image properties of the received images; performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images; obtaining an identification of one or more image characteristics associated with an anatomic feature of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the anatomic localization or modeling; and calculating, using a processor of the computer system, an image quality score based on the one or more image properties and the one or more image characteristics.

11. A system for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, the system comprising:
-
a digital storage device storing instructions for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy; and a processor configured to execute the instructions to perform a method including; receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; determining, using a processor of the computer system, one or more image properties of the received images, wherein the one or more image properties define either an entirety of one of the received images or a plurality of the received images; performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images; obtaining, for a selected one of the received images, an identification of one or more image characteristics of the selected one of the received images, where the one or more image characteristics are associated with an anatomic feature of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the anatomic localization or modeling; and calculating, using a processor of the computer system, an image quality score for the selected one of the received images based on the one or more image properties and the one or more image characteristics of the selected one of the received images. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19)

20. A non-transitory computer readable medium for use on at least one computer system containing computer-executable programming instructions for assessing the quality of medical images of at least a portion of a patient'"'"'s anatomy, that when executed by the at least one computer system, cause the performance of a method comprising:
-
receiving one or more images of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy; determining, using a processor of the computer system, one or more image properties of the received images, wherein the one or more image properties define either an entirety of one of the received images or a plurality of the received images; performing, using a processor of the computer system, anatomic localization or modeling of at least a portion of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the received images; obtaining, for a selected one of the received images, an identification of one or more image characteristics of the selected one of the received images, where the one or more image characteristics are associated with an anatomic feature of the patient'"'"'s anatomy based on the anatomic localization or modeling; and calculating, using a processor of the computer system, an image quality score for the selected one of the received images based on the one or more image properties and the one or more image characteristics of the selected one of the received images.
