Patent number: 11823046Abstract: A method and system for automatically inferring a subject's body position in a two-dimensional image produced by a medical-imaging system are disclosed. The image is labeled with a body position selected from a semantically meaningful set of candidate positions sequenced in order of their relative locations in a subject's body. A processor performs procedures that each identify a class of image features related to pixel intensity, such as a histogram of gradients, local binary patterns, or Haar-like features. A second set of procedures employs applications of a pretrained convolutional neural network that has learned to recognize features of a specific class of medical images. The results of both types of procedures are then mapped by a pretrained support-vector machine onto candidate image labels, which are mathematically combined into a single, semantically meaningful, label most likely to identify a body position of the subject shown by the image.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: November 21, 2023Assignee: International Business Machines CorporationInventors: Yaniv Gur, Mehdi Moradi, Tanveer F.
