  • Publication number: 20220398718
    Abstract: The current disclosure provides methods and systems for rapidly and consistently determining medical image quality metrics following acquisition of a diagnostic medical image. In one embodiment, the current disclosure teaches a method for determining an image quality metric by, acquiring a medical image of an anatomical region, mapping the medical image to a positional attribute of an anatomical feature using a trained deep neural network, determining an image quality metric based on the positional attribute of the anatomical feature, determining if the image quality metric satisfies an image quality criterion, and displaying the medical image, the image quality metric, and a status of the image quality criterion via a display device. In this way, a diagnostic scanning procedure may be expedited by providing technicians with real-time insight into quantitative image quality metrics.

  • Publication number: 20220331556
    Abstract: An image processing system is provided. The image processing system includes a display, a processor, and a memory. The memory stores processor-executable code that when executed by the processor causes receiving an image of a region of interest of a patient with a medical tube or line disposed within the region of interest, detecting the medical tube or line within the image, generating a combined image by superimposing a first graphical marker on the image that indicates an end of the medical tube or line, and displaying the combined image on the display.
