    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical data processing method of determining an outcome quality of a medical procedure, the method comprising the following steps which are constituted to be executed by a computer: a) acquiring (S1) pre-completion medical image data describing an anatomical structure of a patient's body in a state before the medical procedure has been completed on the anatomical structure, the anatomical structure being subject to the medical procedure; b) acquiring (S1) pre-completion non-image medical data describing a state and medical history of the patient before the medical procedure has been completed on the anatomical structure; c) acquiring (S2) medical procedure planning data describing a plan for execution of the medical procedure to be carried out on the anatomical structure; d) determining (S2), based on the pre-completion medical image data and the medical procedure planning data, procedure application describing an application of the medical procedure planning data to the pre-completion medical image data; e) acquiring (S5) post-completion non-image medical data describing a state and medical history of the patient after the medical procedure has been completed on the anatomical structure; f) acquiring (S5) post-completion medical image data describing the anatomical structure in a state after the medical procedure has been completed on the anatomical structure; g) determining (S6, S7), based on the procedure application data and the pre-completion non-image medical data and the post-completion non-image medical data and the post-completion medical image data, outcome quality data comprising a quality measure describing a quality of the outcome of the medical procedure, the quality measure for example being specific to the indication in question, properties of the patient and the executive medical entity.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a medical method of managing a cerebrovascular insult, the method comprising the following steps in this order: a) placing a patient on a patient support unit; b) positioning a mobile tomographic imaging system in a predetermined position relative to the patient support unit with the patient placed on the patient support unit; c) imaging at least part of the patient's brain using an imaging unit of the tomographic imaging system, the imaging comprising in particular generating an image describing the functioning of the patient's blood vessel system; d) determining, in dependence on the result of the imaging, whether the patient support unit should be rotated relative to the tomographic imaging system with the patient placed on the patient support unit so that the patient is free of the imaging unit in order to conduct a medical intervention on the patient's blood vessel system, or whether the patient support unit may remain in its position relative to the tomographic imaging system with the patient placed on the patient support unit.

    Abstract: A data processing method for determining data which are referred to as atlas data and comprise information on a description of an image of a general anatomical structure, wherein this image is referred to as the atlas image, the method comprising the following steps performed by a computer: acquiring patient data which comprise a description of a set of images of an anatomical structure of a set of patients, wherein the images are referred to as patient images and each patient image is associated with a parameter set which comprises one or more parameters which obtain when the patient images are generated, wherein the parameters influence representations of anatomical elements as expressed by image values in the patient images; acquiring model data which comprise information on a description of an image of a model of an anatomical structure of a (single or average or generic) patient which is referred to as the model image and is associated with the parameter set; determining matching transformations which are referred to as PM transformations and which are constituted to respectively match the set of patient images of the set of patients to the model image by matching images associated with the same parameter set; determining an inverse average transformation by applying an inverting and averaging operation to the determined PM transformations; and a) determining the atlas data by applying the determined inverse average transformation to the model data; or b) respectively applying the determined PM transformations to the respective patient images in order to determine matched patient images, averaging the matched patient images in order to determine an average matched patient image, and determining the atlas data by applying the determined inverse average transformation to the average matched patient image.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a computer-implemented methods of determining distributions of corrections for correcting the segmentation of medical image data, determining corrections for correcting the segmentation of medical image data, training a learning algorithm for determining a segmentation of a digital medical image, and determining a relation between an image representation of the anatomical body part in an individual medical image and a label to be associated with the image representation of the anatomical body part in the individual medical image using the trained machine learning algorithm. The methods encompass reading a plurality of corrections to image segmentations, wherein the corrections themselves may have been manually generated, transforming these corrections into a reference system which is not patient-specific such as an atlas reference system, conducting a statistical analysis of the correction, and applying the re-transformed result of the statistical analysis to patient images. The result of the statistical analysis may also be used to appropriately train a machine learning algorithm for automatic segmentation of patient images. The application of such a trained machine learning algorithm is also part of this disclosure.
