Patent number: 10978184Abstract: A medical information server receives a signal from a client device over a network, representing a first user interaction of a user with respect to first medical information displayed to a user. A user interaction analyzer invokes a first set of ECCD rules associated with the user based on the first user interaction to determine medical data categories that the user is likely interested in. The first set of ECCD rules was generated by an ECCD engine based on prior user interactions of the user. A data retrieval module accesses medical data servers corresponding to the medical data categories to retrieve medical data of the medical data categories. A view generator integrates the retrieved medical data to generate one or more views of second medical information and transmits the views of second medical information to a client device to be displayed on a display of the client device.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 2014Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: TeraRecon, Inc.Inventor: Jeffrey Sorenson

Patent number: 10818048Abstract: An automatic medical image processing system includes a series of operation stages, each automating specifying the image processing parameters for processing medical images. In response to an image processing indicator, a first medical image is automatically identified, including determining a first image operation and image processing parameters, without user intervention. The first image operation is performed on the first medical image based on the image processing parameters. A second medical image is generated and transmitted to the client device to be presented therein. The client device displays a message prompting the user whether the user is satisfied with the second medical image. In response to a user input from the client device indicating that the user is unsatisfied with the second medical image, one or more remedial options are presented to allow the user selecting a remedial action to reprocess the first medical image.Type: GrantFiled: July 7, 2018Date of Patent: October 27, 2020Assignee: TERARECON, INC.Inventors: Tiecheng T.
