  • Publication number: 20260192132
    Abstract: Systems and methods for generating radiotherapy plans are provided. One or more medical images are received. One or more anatomical objects are segmented from the one or more medical images. Radiotherapy configurations for one or more objectives are determined based on the one or more medical images and the segmentations of the one or more anatomical objectives. A candidate radiotherapy plan is generated based on the radiotherapy configurations. A quality assessment of the candidate radiotherapy plan is performed. The one or more objectives are updated based on results of the quality assessment and the determining, the generating, and the performing are repeated for one or more iterations using the updated one or more objectives as the radiotherapy objectives to generate the candidate radiotherapy plan for a last iteration as a final radiotherapy plan. The final radiotherapy plan is output. Since the pipeline is automatic, the plan generation can be scaled. The data can serve large-scale AI model training.

  • Patent number: 12620152
    Abstract: For reconstruction in sampling-based imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, an iterative, multiple-mapping based hierarchal machine-learned network reconstruction may produce artifact corrected images based on under-sampled scans. Two or more mappings may be used to reduce the presence of artifacts, in some cases including localized low-noise-contribution artifacts, relative to reconstructions based on fully-sampled scans.

  • Patent number: 12374004
    Abstract: For reconstruction in medical imaging, such as reconstruction in MR imaging, scanning is accelerated by under-sampling. In iterative reconstruction, the input to the regularizer is altered provide for correlation of non-local aliasing artifacts. Duplicates of the input image are shifted by different amounts based on the level of acceleration. The resulting shifted images are used to form the input to the regularizer. Providing an input based on shifts allows the regularization to suppress non-local as well as local aliasing artifacts.

  • Patent number: 12339341
    Abstract: Techniques are provided for determining magnetic resonance images showing different contrasts in an examination. Magnetic resonance data for all magnetic resonance images are acquired using the same acquisition technique and the magnetic resonance images are reconstructed from their magnetic resonance data sets using at least one reconstruction algorithm. The reconstruction comprises at least one de-noising step. After acquisition of the magnetic resonance data, at least one noise strength measure is determined for the magnetic resonance data sets for each contrast, and de-noising strengths for the de-noising step are chosen individually for each contrast depending on the respective at least one noise strength measure.

  • Patent number: 12315044
    Abstract: For reconstruction, a machine-learned model is adapted to allow for reconstruction based on the repetitions available in some scanning. The reconstruction for one or more subsets is performed during the scanning. The machine-learned model is trained to reconstruction separately or independently for each repetition or to use information from previous repetitions without requiring waiting for completion of scanning. The reconstructed image may be displayed much more rapidly after completion of the acquisition since the reconstruction begins during the reconstruction.
