  • Publication number: 20170337329
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for automatically generating a radiology report includes a computer receiving an input dataset comprising a plurality of multidimensional patient images and patient information and parsing the input dataset using learned models to determine a clinical domain and relevant image annotations. The computer populates an annotation table using the relevant image annotations and applies one or more domain-specific scriptable rules to populate a report template based on the annotation table. The computer may then generate a natural language radiology report based on the report template.

  • Publication number: 20170273665
    Abstract: Pose of an ultrasound transducer is recovered. In one approach, inertial measurement units are positioned on the ultrasound transducer. The measurements from the inertial measurement units are used with pose or measurements from another position sensor (e.g., x-ray, electromagnetic, or optical) to improve accuracy and/or provide pose information at a greater rate. In another approach, a curve, line, or other connected shape of light emitting diodes are incorporated into the transducer. Optical tracking, with a filter specific to the light emitting diodes, using the connected shape pattern is used to determine the pose.

  • Patent number: 4221435
    Abstract: This invention is directed to a vehicle wheel assembly structure having simulated wheel centers, and comprises a two-piece spoked basket assembly which is centrally held to a wheel body. The basket assembly includes an outer frusto-conically shaped spoked basket and an inner generally planar spoked basket, the radially outer rims of which nest within each other and are held to the tire rim by a centrally located mounting. The purpose of having a two-piece basket assembly is to enable each of the basket types to be stacked for economical and efficient handling, shipping and storage.
