  • Patent number: 11501451
    Abstract: Presented are concepts for detecting subject motion in medical imaging of a subject. One such concept obtains a motion classification model representing relationships between motion of image features and subject motion values. For each of a plurality of medical slice images of an imaged volume of the subject, an image feature of the medical slice image is extracted. Based on the extracted image feature for each of the plurality of medical slice images, motion information for the image feature is determined. Based on the motion information for the image feature and the obtained motion classification model, a subject motion value is determined.

  • Publication number: 20220223330
    Abstract: Technologies for an inductor with a meandering conductor are disclosed. In the illustrative embodiment, an inductor has a conductor that follows a meandering U-shaped path. The two nearby conductive strips carrying current in opposite directions largely cancel their magnetic fields, leading to less field on nearby traces on a circuit board. As a result, high-speed traces on the circuit board can be routed near the inductor, resulting in a potentially smaller form factor for the circuit board or a circuit board with few layers.

  • Patent number: 11348229
    Abstract: There is provided a computer-implemented method and system (100) for determining regions of hyperdense lung parenchyma in an image of a lung. The system (100) comprises a memory (106) comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions and a processor (102) configured to communicate with the memory and to execute the set of instructions. The set of instructions, when executed by the processor (102), cause the processor (102) to locate a vessel in the image, determine a density of lung parenchyma in a region of the image that neighbours the located vessel, and determine whether the region of the image comprises hyperdense lung parenchyma based on the determined density, hyperdense lung parenchyma having a density greater than ?800 HU.
