Abstract:
A method for automated landmarking comprising obtaining one or more localizer images of a patient, comparing the one or more localizer images with a reference image, computing a difference between the one or more localizer images and the reference image, determining a desired position of the patient based on the computed difference, and maneuvering the patient, a support platform, or both the patient and the support platform to the desired position for imaging an anatomical region of interest in the patient.
Abstract:
A method and system for communicating medical data is presented. Patient data, scan parameters, and/or reference information may be received from a patient unit communicatively coupled to a remote unit over a communication network. The patient data may include at least an image corresponding to a patient. Further, one or more anatomical regions in the image may be identified. Additionally, ranks corresponding to the one or more anatomical regions may be computed based on the patient data, the scan parameters, and/or the reference information. Further, one or more portions of the image corresponding to the one or more anatomical regions may be iteratively transmitted from the patient unit to the remote unit based on the computed ranks.
Abstract:
Embodiments of a method, a system, and a non-transitory computer readable medium for use in interactive magnetic resonance imaging are presented. An initial region of interest of a subject is scanned to acquire imaging data using an initial imaging protocol. Anatomical labeling information corresponding to a plurality of regions corresponding to the subject may be determined based on the acquired data and/or previously available information. Particularly, determining the anatomical labeling information may include identifying one or more features of interest corresponding to the initial region of interest. Further, input from an operator corresponding to a desired imaging task may be received interactively. The imaging protocol may be updated in real-time by selectively configuring one or more imaging parameters that optimize implementation of the desired imaging task based on the determined anatomical labeling information. A subsequent scan may be performed using the updated imaging protocol for completing the desired imaging task.
