  • Patent number: 12217419
    Abstract: In order to enhance enhanced X-ray image inhalation quality monitoring, a metric is proposed hat reproducibly provides an index of ribs visible to be used in the assessment of the inhalation state. In an example, a detected diaphragm in a chest X-ray image may be projected into an atlas that contains labels for all intercostal spaces, namely spaces between rib centerlines. A spatial representation of both the clavicle and the ribs is provided in the atlas, a cumulative histogram is built for all points, i.e. pixels, of the diaphragm, for every point a rib label counter of the rib in the rib label map at that point is incremented as well as all ribs above it, the rib label counter is normalized by a division by the number of points, the median (or a different quantile) may be taken of this distribution serving as an inhalation index. An objective metric of inhalation state is thus achieved.
