Publication number: 20240127432Abstract: A system and method for achieving more accurate results when applying an image processing task to a series of medical images of a patient, without significantly increasing processing resource. The proposed system and method is based on receiving a plurality of image sequences of a particular anatomical region, each capturing cyclical movement of an anatomical object. Each image sequence is supplied to a classifier module which employs use of one or more machine learning algorithms to derive at least one score for each image sequence indicative of predicted success or quality of a result of the image processing task if applied to the given image series. This permits an assessment to be made in advance of which of the plurality of image series is most likely to result in the best (e.g. highest quality, or greatest amount of information) results from the image processing task.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 24, 2022Publication date: April 18, 2024Inventors: Alexandra Groth, Tanja Lossau, Irina Waechter-Stehle, Frank Michael Weber, Jochen Peters, Sebastian Wild, Arne Ewald, Andre Goossen
