    摘要: A method of automatically assigning each of a plurality of medical imaging cases for reading by one of a plurality of readers, comprising: receiving the medical imaging cases; listing each case, at different times, on worklists displayed to one or more readers who are allowed to choose the case for reading at that time; receiving information on choices of cases by the readers; and assigning cases to readers who choose them; wherein for at least some of the cases, initially only a portion of the readers are allowed to choose the case, but over time, as the case becomes more urgent to read, the case is escalated a first time by adding one or more other readers who are allowed to choose the case, and over further time, if the case is still not read, the case is escalated at least one additional time.

    摘要: A method for automated segmentation of a blood vessel of a head and neck of a subject in a medical image, the method comprising: identifying the location of anatomical landmarks in the medical image; identifying regions of interest in the medical image based on the landmarks; segmenting segments of blood vessels in the medical image; classifying at least one of the segments as defining the blood vessel based on its position relative to the landmarks within the regions of interest to create a classified blood vessel; identifying a starting seed for the blood vessel from the classified blood vessel; identifying an ending seed for the blood vessel from the classified blood vessel; segmenting the blood vessel between the starting seed and the ending seed; and defining a path between the starting seed and the ending seed.

    摘要: A method of determining a residue function in brain tissue, from medical images acquired after introducing contrast agent into the blood, correcting for contrast agent leakage into the tissue, comprising: a) providing time signals indicating contrast agent concentration for leaking voxels, a time signal indicating average contrast agent concentration for non-leaking voxels, and an artery input function, all derived from the images; b) fitting the leaking voxel signals to a model time signal with a free parameter for leakage rate, the model assuming that the concentration of contrast agent perfusing through a leaking voxel has a same shape as a function of time as the average contrast agent concentration for non-leaking voxels; c) using the best fit leakage rate parameter to make a correction for leakage to the leaking voxel signals; and d) deconvolving the corrected signals from the artery input function, to find the residue function.

    摘要: A method of processing a medical image comprising an organ, the method comprising: obtaining a medical image; automatically estimating one or more organ intensity characteristics in the image, from contents of a region of the image that appears to correspond, at least in part, to at least a portion of the organ; providing a plurality of sets of organ intensity characteristics, each set a different example of possible intensity characteristics of the organ; choosing one of the plurality of sets, that has organ intensity characteristics that provide a better match than one or more other sets to the estimated organ intensity characteristics of the image; setting values of one or more image processing parameters based on the organ intensity characteristics of the chosen set; and automatically processing the image using said values of image processing parameters.

    摘要: Spatial segmentation of lymph nodes in a 3-D medical image is automatically determined, based on a set of inputs provided by a user which define a low number of initial conditions for segmentation. In some embodiments, the automation comprises producing a lymph node segmentation from the 3-D image based on a 2-D image slice and a representative line segment on that slice. In some embodiments, segmentation comprises a two tiered approach (2-D segmentation, followed by 3-D segmentation) based on adaptation of the level set framework to the particular conditions of lymph node segmentation.
