  • Patent number: 11854197
    Abstract: A computer system identifies a medical condition in a patient. A trained machine learning image generator is used to generate a set of training images based on three-dimensional patient imaging data, wherein each training image is labeled with a projection angle of the corresponding two-dimensional projection. Using the set of training images, a machine learning image classifier model is trained to identify patient rotation angles in x-ray images. X-ray images are processed with the machine learning image classifier model to identify patient rotation angles. A machine learning medical condition classifier model is trained to identify a medical condition using the labeled x-ray images. The machine learning medical condition classifier model determines an indication of the medical condition in a patient's x-ray image. Embodiments of the present invention further include a method and program product for identifying a medical condition in a patient in substantially the same manner described above.

  • Publication number: 20230326583
    Abstract: Computer technology for scheduling viewing of sets of medical images for evaluation of medical images (for example X-ray images) by a medical professional (for example, a radiologist). The scheduling is based on, at least in part, scheduling rules obtained from computerized analysis of historical viewing patterns of the medical professional and/or other similarly situated medical professional viewers. The scheduling may include various types of scheduling, such as time of day scheduling, date scheduling (that is, day of the week / month / year scheduling, order of images to be viewed within a set of patient images, order of viewing among and between the various patient sets of images and amount of time to be spent on each image, each set of images.

  • Publication number: 20230177386
    Abstract: Currently deployed models are replaced with new models when corresponding deployed algorithms are updated. The updated algorithm is pre-trained offline on training data used by the currently deployed model. Concurrent deployment of the pre-trained model during operation of the currently deployed model within the same AI system provides secondary training of the pre-trained model. For the same input, output of the currently deployed model is compared to output of the pre-trained model and a decreasing rewards process encourages matching output to that of the currently deployed model until a condition is met. Upon meeting the condition, the pre-trained model become the currently deployed model and the previously deployed model is no longer in use.
