  • Publication number: 20260088156
    Abstract: One or more example embodiments relates to a technique for outputting a control signal for at least one of preparing, executing or processing medical imaging of a patient based on a request in natural language. A computer-implemented method comprises receiving a digital request message comprising the request in connection with the medical imaging, wherein the request is formulated in natural language; processing the request, wherein the processing comprises applying at least one first large language model (LLM); and outputting the control signal to an imaging function facility for the at least one of the preparing the medical imaging, the executing the medical imaging or the processing the medical imaging, wherein the output control signal is based on a result of the processing of the request.

  • Publication number: 20250104823
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to processing of medical data, in particular image data of medical images and related medical reports for automated generation of a draft report for a newly recorded medical image. The image elements relating to corresponding documentation elements for a former medical image are mapped to image elements in the newly recorded medical image, and based on this mapping, an automated generation of the draft of the medical report of the newly recorded medical image is performed.

  • Publication number: 20250029696
    Abstract: In a method for providing a medical video report, context information pertaining to a medical image study is extracted, and a template video script is selected from a plurality of candidate template video scripts using the context information. The candidate template video scripts respectively encode instructions for image processing of a medical image study to generate a video visualizing a medical diagnosis to a human recipient. The selected template video script may then be executed to generate the medical video report.

  • Publication number: 20240081768
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method comprises: reading in sensor data relating to an image file; assigning the sensor data to a first position of a patient's anatomical structure; extracting at least one second position of the patient's anatomical structure from a medical diagnostic report; comparing the first position and the at least one second position; and outputting a warning signal if the comparison does not yield a match.

  • Publication number: 20240087697
    Abstract: Systems and computer-implemented methods are provided for identifying a template data structure for a medical report based on a medical image data set. The computer-implemented method includes: receiving a medical image data set of a patient; generating a representation of the medical image data set for display via a user interface; providing the representation for displaying to the user via the user interface; receiving, via the user interface, input directed to a medical finding visible in the representation; predicting a finding type of the medical finding based on the input; performing a lookup operation in a database to identify a template data structure for a medical report corresponding to the predicted finding type; and providing the template data structure.

  • Patent number: 10803980
    Abstract: A user interacts with a medical imaging system and a medical reporting system to prepare a medical report. The medical reporting system includes report templates for medical reports. The report templates include placeholder fields with unique placeholder designations and metadata. After a user entry in the medical imaging system to select an image dataset, the image dataset and analysis tools are made available to the user. After a user entry in the medical reporting system to select a report template, a report template is made available. Placeholders contained in the selected report template are displayed with corresponding placeholder designations and metadata, automatically sent to the imaging system, and displayed as data requests. According to the data requests displayed, the data corresponding to the data requests is ascertained or determined by the user and assigned to the placeholder designations. A report editor automatically saves the data in the placeholder fields.

  • Patent number: 9307909
    Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is disclosed, related to a method for associating at least two different medical findings with each other, each of the findings being based on a characteristic area in a different set of images. The location of at least one anatomical landmark in relation to the respective characteristic area is determined in each in each of the different sets of images. Then a reference to the least one anatomical landmark is stored together with the respective finding for each of the at least two findings. Finally, pairs of associated findings based on a comparison of the respective references to the at least one anatomical landmark are identified among the at least two findings.
