  • Publication number: 20200345320
    Abstract: A system and method for reviewing a tomosynthesis image data set comprising volumetric image data of a breast, the method comprising, in one embodiment, causing an image or a series of images from the data set to be displayed on a display monitor and selecting or indicating through a user interface an object or region of interest in a presently displayed image of the data set, thereby causing an image from the data set having a best focus measure of the user selected or indicated object or region of interest to be automatically displayed on the display monitor.

  • Publication number: 20200258479
    Abstract: The invention includes a method including the steps of obtaining a plurality of images, each of the images in the plurality having at least one corresponding region, generating a merged image, the merged image also having the corresponding region. The step of generating includes selecting an image source from the plurality of images to source image data for the corresponding region in the merged image by comparing attributes of the corresponding regions of the plurality of images to identify the image source having preferred attributes.

  • Publication number: 20200253573
    Abstract: A system for processing breast tissue images includes an image processing computer and a user interface operatively coupled to the image processing computer, wherein the image processing computer is configured to obtain image data of breast tissue, processing the image data to generate a set of reconstructed image slices, the reconstructed image slices collectively depicting the breast tissue, process respective subsets of the reconstructed image slices to generate a set of image slabs, each image slab comprising a synthesized 2D image of a portion of the breast tissue obtained from a respective subset of the set of reconstructed image slices.

  • Publication number: 20200184262
    Abstract: A method and system for creating a dynamic self-learning medical image network system, wherein the method includes receiving, from a first node initial user interaction data pertaining to one or more user interactions with the one or more initially obtained medical images; training a deep learning algorithm based at least in part on the initial user interaction data received from the node; and transmitting an instance of the trained deep learning algorithm to the first node and/or to one or more additional nodes, wherein at each respective node to which the instance of the trained deep learning algorithm is transmitted, the trained deep learning algorithm is applied to respective one or more subsequently obtained medical images in order to obtain a result.
