Patent number: 11948689Abstract: A method is for determining a patient-adjusted breast compression in mammography. In an embodiment of the method, input data including individual, person-related data of a female patient, is determined. Furthermore, an adjusted individual compression point is determined by applying a function, trained by an algorithm based on machine learning, to the input data. The adjusted individual compression point is generated as the output data. Other embodiments include a method for providing a trained function; a breast compression determining device; a training device; and a mammography system.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: SIEMENS HEALTHINEERS AGInventors: Marcus Radicke, Madeleine Hertel, Christian Huemmer

Publication number: 20230090411Abstract: According to a method for correcting a 2D measurement value is described, 2D image data of an examination object is received. Landmarks in the 2D image data are detected, and 2D positions of the landmarks are calculated. A corrected measurement value of the examination object is predicted, using a trained model, which depends on the received 2D image data, the estimated 2D positions of the landmarks and a reference parameter of a reference 3D orientation of the examination object.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 20, 2022Publication date: March 23, 2023Applicant: Siemens Healthcare GmbHInventors: Andreas FIESELMANN, Ramyar BINIAZAN, Christian HUEMMER
