  • Workflow for computer aided detection
    Patent number: 8156210
    Abstract: A method is disclosed, in a diagnostic medical environment, that enhances workflow while using a computer-aided-detection (or diagnosis) (CAD) system in the environment. The method comprises generating image data with a diagnostic medical imaging acquisition system. The image data is transmitted from the diagnostic medical imaging acquisition system to a computer-aided-detection (or diagnosis) (CAD) system and an archive/review station. Detection results are generated by processing the image data, using the CAD system, while storing and viewing the image data on the archive/review station. The detection results are transmitted from the CAD system to the archive/review station. The detection results are integrated with the image data by the archive/review station to form composite image data. The composite image data is displayed by the archive/review system.

  • Lung contrast normalization on direct digital and digitized chest images for computer-aided detection (CAD) of early-stage lung cancer
    Publication number: 20050008211
    Abstract: A method of processing x-ray images in digital form comprises: (a) inputting an x-ray image in digital form; (b) determining one or more normalization factors based on the pixels of the input x-ray image; (c) performing normalization on the input x-ray image by applying the one or more normalization factors to the pixels; and (d) outputting a normalized digital x-ray image.

  • Computer-aided diagnosis system for thoracic computer tomography images
    Patent number: 6795521
    Abstract: A method of detecting and analyzing abnormalities, like lung nodules, in thoracic computer tomography (CT) images uses digital image processing techniques and adaptive computing methods. The techniques include an automatic detection process to detect candidate abnormalities, an image matching process to match CT slices from two different CT scans, and a measurement process that determines parameters of the candidate abnormalities. Final results and processed CT images are displayed on a user interface.
