  • Publication number: 20160364862
    Abstract: Methods and systems for performing image analytics using graphical reporting associated with clinical images. One system includes at least one data source and a server. The server includes an electronic processor and an interface for communicating with the data source. The electronic processor is configured to receive training information from the at least one data source over the interface. The training information includes a plurality of images and graphical reporting associated with each of the plurality of images. Each graphical reporting includes a graphical marker designating a portion of one of the plurality of images and diagnostic information associated with the portion of the one of the plurality of images. The electronic processor is also configured to perform machine learning to develop a model using the training information. The model is used to automatically analyze an image.

  • Publication number: 20160361025
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically scoring diagnoses associated with clinical images. One system includes a server including an electronic processor and an interface for communicating with at least one data source. The electronic processor is configured to receive a diagnosis associated with an image of a patient from the at least one data source over the interface. The diagnosis is for an anatomical structure represented in the image. The electronic processor is also configured to receive a pathology result for the patient for the anatomical structure generated after the diagnosis from the at least one pathology result source over the interface. The electronic processor is also configured to automatically generate a score based on a comparison of the diagnosis and the pathology result. The electronic processor is also configured to display the score within a graphical user interface.

  • Publication number: 20160361121
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically selecting an implant for a patient. One system includes a server including an electronic processor and an interface for communicating with at least one data source. The electronic processor is configured to receive at least one image of the patient from the data source over the interface. The electronic processor is also configured to receive an intended location of the implant with reference to the at least one image. The electronic processor is also configured to automatically determine an anatomical structure based on the at least one image. The electronic processor is also configured to determine a preference. The electronic processor is also configured to automatically select one or more suggested implants based on the intended location, the anatomical structure, and the preference. The electronic processor is also configured to display the one or more suggested implants through a graphical user interface.

  • Patent number: 8115487
    Abstract: A magnetic resonance imaging system includes a primary magnet and a secondary magnet operable to produce magnetic fields within a sample being imaged. The MRI system further includes at least one RF coil that is operable to receive electromagnetic frequencies from the sample. The RF coil is formed from tubing that serves as a cooling conduit through which flows a cooling fluid provided by a cooling source. The cooling fluid cools the RF coils to improve imaging of the sample.

  • Patent number: 8035382
    Abstract: A radio frequency coil array (50) includes at least first (501) and second (502) receive coils. A flux pipe (52) includes electrically connected first (2521) and second (2522) loop coils. The first (2521) and second (2522) loop coils are coupled to the respective first and second receive coils. The flux pipe (52) reduces mutual inductance between the first (501) and second (502) receive coils.

  • Patent number: 8030932
    Abstract: An apparatus for use in a magnetic resonance examination includes a radio frequency receive coil (50) and adjustable tuning circuitry (51) for adjusting the resonant frequency of the receive coil. The apparatus also includes a preamplifier (29) which amplifies signals generated by the receive coil. An adjustable feedback circuit (31) alters an effective Q of the receive coil.
