  • Publication number: 20190197135
    Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system comprising a processor and a memory, the memory comprising instructions that are executed by the processor to specifically configure the processor to implement an intelligent medical image viewing engine. The intelligent medical image viewing engine receives a medical imaging study data structure comprising a plurality of electronic medical images from a medical image database. An image processing component executing within the intelligent medical image viewing engine analyzes the medical imaging study data structure to identify, for each electronic medical image in the plurality of electronic medical images, a corresponding set of image attributes.

  • Publication number: 20180108125
    Abstract: Automatic detection of disease from analysis of echocardiographer findings in echocardiogram videos is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of medical images containing embedded text are read. The plurality of medical images are clustered into a plurality of clusters. Medical images of a first cluster of the plurality of clusters are ranked based on the frequency of measurement names within the medical images of the first cluster. A candidate tabular template is generated indicative of a layout of measurement name/value pairs within the medical images of the first cluster. According to the candidate tabular template, optical character recognition is applied to one of the plurality of medical images of the first cluster to extract candidate measurements. The candidate tabular template and the candidate measurements are presented to a user.

  • Patent number: 8380281
    Abstract: Featured are devices for compression of target tissue while magnetic resonance imaging the target tissue and methods and systems related thereto. The method includes disposing target tissue between the fixed surface and the moveable member of a compression device and compressing the target tissue between the fixed surface and the moveable member. The method also includes acquiring one or more, more specifically a plurality, of sequences of image data of the compressed target tissue using an MRI imaging technique (MRI). In particular embodiments, the MRI technique is a SENC MRI technique, where tissue encoding is done prior to compressing the tissue and acquiring includes adding a gradient moment in the slice-selection direction to cause demodulation with a specific frequency. In further embodiments, the sequences of image data are acquired one of during successive periodic compressions of the tissue or successive periodic relaxation of the tissues.
