  • Publication number: 20220238232
    Abstract: Image processing engines can be utilized to inject studies into other commercial or independently-developed peer review systems which are designed to review the medical findings identified by a set of physicians. Image processing engines detect, confirm or verify findings by physicians or other engines, where the engines operate as peer reviewers. The engines can prospectively “learn” from the feedback when these images are reviewed by the physicians during diagnostic interpretation creating a closed-loop quality assurance process and fostering a community platform approach to engine development which is supported by the security, governance, access control, regulatory compliance and other features of the Peer Review System. Utilizing machine learning based on the data collected from peer review, the Peer Review System can adapt and improve its performance as well as the measured performance of the physicians using the system for diagnostic interpretation.

  • Publication number: 20210098113
    Abstract: A plurality of image processing engines are hosted within an image processing system. Each image processing engine performs one or more image processing operations or clinical content processing operations on medical images and clinical content. A user interface allows a user to configure the plurality of image processing engines for a particular study of images. The user interface allows the user to configure the plurality of image processing engines in any one of the following configurations: a series configuration where the image processing engines operate in series so that an output from one image processing engine serves as input to a next image processing engine; a parallel configuration where each image processing engine in the plurality of image processing engines operates without input from any other image processing engine in the plurality of image processing engines.

  • Patent number: 10679402
    Abstract: A medical image viewing system allows multiple person viewing of rendered medical images, the medical image viewing system. A medical image processing system receives medical image data and manipulates the medical image data to produce first rendered medical image data that includes the medical image data plus image manipulation results. A first client system receives the first rendered medical image data from the medical image processing system. The first client system displays to a first end user on the first client system, a first 3D medical image that is based on the first rendered medical image data. The first 3D medical image is displayed within an augmented reality environment or a virtual reality environment so that within the augmented reality environment or the virtual reality environment the first end user has a first viewer location and a first viewing angle of the first 3D medical image.

  • Patent number: 10559114
    Abstract: Automated three-dimensional (3D) printing work flow through a network is provided. A network server receives through the network a request to convert 3D segmented medical image data to information print-ready for printing on a 3D printer. The 3D segmented medical image data is converted to a converted data file in a medical image data file format that allows multiple sub-segmentation of a particular human anatomy or region of interest. The medical image data file format allows for storage of mask segmentation information. Identifying information, including patient information, is removed from metadata of the 3D segmented medical image data when converting to the converted data file.

  • Patent number: 10452813
    Abstract: An artificial intelligence findings system includes an artificial intelligence findings system. An image identification engine receives new image data pertaining to a patient and past reports and image data pertaining to the patient. The image identification engine uses the past image data pertaining to the patient to identify for study images of patient anatomical structures, anatomical anomalies and anatomical features within the new image data. A findings engine receives new image data and processes the new image data to generate findings based on the new image data and based on the identified for study images of patient anatomical structures, anatomical anomalies and anatomical features within the new image data. A communication interface provides the findings to a diagnostic review system that presents the findings to a user. An adjustment engine receives notifications of changes to findings made by a user when using the medical image interpretation system.

  • Patent number: 10417804
    Abstract: Multiple person viewing of rendered medical image is achieved by manipulating an image by the server to produce first rendered medical image data that includes the medical image data plus image manipulation results. A first 3-D medical image that is based on the first rendered medical image data is displayed within an augmented reality environment or a virtual reality environment so that the first end user has a first viewer location and a first viewing angle of the first 3-D medical image. A second 3-D medical image that is based on second rendered medical image data is displayed within the augmented reality environment or the virtual reality environment so that the second end user has at least one of a second viewer location and a second viewing angle that is different from at least one of the first viewer location and the first viewing angle of the first 3-D medical image.
