  • Patent number: 11829914
    Abstract: A medical scan header standardization system is operable to determine a plurality of counts for a plurality of entries of at least one of a standard set of fields for headers of a plurality of medical images. A standard set of header entries is determined for at least one of the standard set of fields based on including ones of the entries for the each of the standard set of fields with counts of the plurality of counts that compare favorably to a threshold. One of the standard set of header entries is selected to replace an entry of a field of a header of a medical image. A computer vision model is trained utilizing a training set of images that includes the medical image and the selected one of the standard set of header entries. Inference data for at least one new medical scan is generated based on utilizing the computer vision model.

  • Patent number: 11669791
    Abstract: An accession number correction system is operable to determine that an accession number of a DICOM image does not link to any corresponding one of a plurality of medical reports. Medical report criteria is generated based on the DICOM image, and a set of medical reports are identified based on the medical report criteria. A computer vision model is trained from a training set of DICOM images, and inference data is generated for the DICOM image by performing at least one inference function utilizing the computer vision model. A selected one of the set of medical reports that corresponds to the DICOM image is determined based on comparing the inference data for the DICOM image to text included in at least one of the set of medical reports. Updated report header data for the selected medical report is generated, and storage of the updated report header data is facilitated.

  • Patent number: 11568970
    Abstract: A medical picture archive integration system includes a de-identification system that includes a first memory designated for protected health information (PHI), operable to perform a de-identification function is on a DICOM image, received from a medical picture archive system, to identify at least one patient identifier and generate a de-identified medical scan that does not include the at least one patient identifier. The medical picture archive integration system further includes a de-identified image storage system that stores the de-identified medical scan in a second memory that is separate from the first memory, and an annotating system, operable to utilize model parameters received from a central server to perform an inference function on the de-identified medical scan, retrieved from the second memory to generate annotation data for transmission to the medical picture archive system as an annotated DICOM file.

  • Patent number: 11462310
    Abstract: The de-identification system can be operable to receive, from at least one first entity, a medical scan and a corresponding medical report. A set of patient identifiers can be identified in a subset of fields of a header of the medical scan. A de-identified medical scan can be generated by replacing the subset of fields of the header of the medical scan with a corresponding set of anonymized fields generated by performing a header anonymization function. A subset of patient identifiers of the set of patient identifiers can be identified in the medical report. A de-identified medical report can be generated by replacing each of the subset of patient identifiers with corresponding anonymized placeholder text generated by performing a text anonymization function on the subset of patient identifiers. The de-identified medical scan and the de-identified medical report can be transmitted to a second entity via a network.

  • Patent number: 11295840
    Abstract: A medical scan header standardization system is operable to determine a set of standard DICOM headers based on determining a standard set of fields and based on further determining a standard set of entries for each of the standard set of fields. A DICOM image is received via a network, and a header of the DICOM image is determined to be incorrect. A selected one of the set of standard DICOM headers to replace the header of the DICOM image is determined. The selected one of the set of standard DICOM headers is transmitted, via the network, to a medical scan database for storage in conjunction with the DICOM image.

  • Patent number: 11107564
    Abstract: An accession number correction system is operable to determine that an accession number of a received DICOM image does not link to any corresponding one of a plurality of medical reports. A query indicating medical report criteria, generated based on the first DICOM image, is transmitted to a report database, and a set of medical reports are received from the report database in response. One report of the set of medical reports that corresponds to the DICOM image is determined by performing a comparison function on the DICOM image and the one reports to generate a comparison value, and by determining the comparison value compares favorably to a comparison threshold. Updated report header data that includes the accession number of the first DICOM image is generated for the one report and is transmitted to the report database for storage.

  • Publication number: 20210233633
    Abstract: A multi-label heat map display system is operable to receive a medical scan and a set of heat maps set of heat maps that each correspond to probability matrix data generated for each of a set of abnormality classes. An interactive interface that displays image data of the medical scan and at least one of the set of heat maps is generated for display on a display device associated with the multi-label heat map display system. User input to a client device is received, and an updated interactive interface that includes a change to the display of the at least one of the set of heat maps by the second portion of the interactive interface in response to the user input is displayed.
