  • Patent number: 11682135
    Abstract: An x-ray image orientation detection and correction system including a detection and correction computing device is provided. The processor of the computing device is programmed to execute a neural network model that is trained with training x-ray images as inputs and observed x-ray images as outputs. The observed x-ray images are the training x-ray images adjusted to have a reference orientation. The processor is further programmed to receive an unclassified x-ray image, analyze the unclassified x-ray image using the neural network model, and assign an orientation class to the unclassified x-ray image. If the assigned orientation class is not the reference orientation, the processor is programmed to adjust an orientation of the unclassified x-ray image using the neural network model, and output a corrected x-ray image. If the assigned orientation class is the reference orientation, the processor is programmed to output the unclassified x-ray image.

  • 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.

  • Publication number: 20140044331
    Abstract: A medical imaging demonstration image library creation method is provided. The method includes receiving data corresponding to a user acquired image of a subject obtained via operation of an X-ray imaging system and further receiving input from a user identifying the user acquired image of the subject as a desired demonstration image. The method also includes adding the user acquired image of the subject to a demonstration image library as a first demonstration image.
