Abstract: An imaging system and method includes a display, a processor, and a memory storing processor-executable code that causes receiving an image of a patient with a medical device disposed therein, detecting the medical device within the image, detecting one or more reference landmark(s) within the image, and generating a combined image by superimposing an overlay on the image to indicate a position of the medical device relative to the reference landmarks. The processor-executable code further causes the image processing system to generate a checklist for verification by a user of the position of the medical device for presentation with the combined image on the display to help the user to adhere to clinical guidelines for placement of the device. In addition, the processor-executable code can prefill the checklist using an artificial intelligence model, with checklist responses used to train or validate the AI model, or for quality assurance purposes.

Abstract: An iterative framework for learning multimodal mappings tailored to medical image inferencing tasks is provided. In an example, a computer-implemented method can comprise receiving multimodal annotation data for medical images, the multimodal annotation data comprising non-image annotation data and image annotation data, and employing one or more machine learning (ML) processes to learn bi-directional mappings between non-image features included in the non-image annotation data and image features associated with the medical images and the image annotation data. The method further comprises generating, as a result of the one or more ML processes, a model configured to: infer one or more of the non-image features associated with new medical images given the new medical images, and/or infer one or more of the image features associated with the new medical images given the new medical images and non-image input corresponding to at least some of the non-image annotation data.

Abstract: A medical apparatus comprises: an operating console, a limiting mechanism, and a manual release mechanism. The limiting mechanism releases the limitation on movement of the operating console in a case where a pressing force is applied to the manual release mechanism. The manual release mechanism comprises: a handle, a conversion portion, and a base portion. The handle is provided with a first guide portion. The base portion is provided with a second guide portion that cooperates with the first guide portion. The handle moves linearly in a direction substantially perpendicular to the base portion under guidance of the first guide portion and the second guide portion in a case where the pressing force is applied to the handle. Thus, a smooth linear motion of the handle can be ensured to provide a good feeling of operation, helping to improve the user experience.
