Abstract: A method for operating an X-ray imaging system includes outputting first X-ray beams onto an X-ray detector by an X-ray source for acquisition of a first X-ray capture of an object under examination. The object under examination is arranged between the X-ray source and the X-ray detector and is passed through by the first X-ray beams. The X-ray detector acquires an entry dose of the first X-ray beams after passage through the object under examination. A parameter value of at least one parameter for output of second X-ray beams by the X-ray source for acquisition of a second X-ray capture of the object under examination is ascertained by a control system. The parameter value is ascertained by the control system according to a specified ascertainment method as a function of a foreground substance of a foreground object, a background substance of a background object, and the entry dose.

Abstract: An overcurrent protection device is for protecting a load arranged in a DC grid. The load is coupled to a supply busbar, which is connectable to a supply potential of the DC grid, in the DC grid via the overcurrent protection device. The overcurrent protection device is designed to ascertain a current trigger value based upon a detected value of a current flowing through the overcurrent protection device and a trigger characteristic which is assigned to the load and is based on the current; compare the current trigger value with a threshold, and either trigger the overcurrent protection device or not, based upon the result of the comparison. The current is taken into consideration together with a first or a second factor in the trigger characteristic based upon the current direction.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a method for generating training data for Al based atlas mapping slice localization, and a system and method for using the training data to train a deep learning network. Training data development maps each slice of an input medical image to a position in a full body reference atlas along the longitudinal body axis. The method constructs a landmarking table of 2D slices indicating known anatomic landmarks of a reference subject, and interpolated slices. A final step for obtaining training data uses regression analysis techniques to create a vector of longitudinal axis coordinates of all slices from the input image. The training data is used to train a deep learning model to create an AI-based atlas mapping slice localizer model. The trained AI-based atlas mapping slice localizer model can be applied to generate mapping inputs to autosegmentation models to improve efficiency and reliability of contouring.

Abstract: Provided is a computer-implemented method and system for checking anonymisation of data. Anonymized data are analysed by means of a smart contract process based on data privacy rules automatically raising a flag in case of an anomaly. The smart contract is governed in a decentralized manner where anodes of distributed database can verify the rules specified in the smart contract and/or assess an anomalous situation. To this end, test data are generated at the data source by applying the data privacy rules to the original data. The test data are checked against the anonymized data and depending on the check result metadata are generated. The metadata are provided to nodes of a distributed database for further verification.
Abstract: An improved method for time alignment (TA) procedure and crystal efficiency (CE) normalization estimation procedure for a PET scanner system is disclosed. In the TA procedure modeled time-of-flight (TOF) data are compared against the measured TOF data from an axially short cylinder phantom in order to find individual detector's time offsets (TOs). Then the TOs are estimated simultaneously by matching the TOF center of mass between the modeled and measured TOF data. In the CE estimation, TOF reconstruction of CBM data on the axially short cylinder phantom is performed. Alternating between TOF image reconstruction and CE updates eventually lead to the correct estimation of activity and CE component.

Abstract: A radiation treatment plan three-dimensional dose prediction machine learning model is trained using a training corpus that includes a plurality of radiation treatment plans that are not specific to a particular patient and wherein the training corpus includes some, but not all, possible patient volumes of interest. Information regarding the patient (including information regarding at least one volume of interest for the patient that was not represented in the training corpus) is input to the radiation treatment plan three-dimensional dose prediction machine model. The latter generates predicted three-dimensional dose distributions that include a predicted three-dimensional dose distribution for the at least one volume of interest that was not represented in the training corpus.
