摘要:
Described is a method and system for conducting a clinical trial. Medical data is obtained from a patient participating in the clinical trial. Then, the medical data and at least one identifier are transmitted, via a communications network, for storage at a remote server. The at least one identifier links the medical data to a record of the patient. Access to at least portions of the medical data is provided, via the communications network, to trial participants based on predefined clinical trial procedures. The remote server tracks accessing of the medical data by the trial participants and generation by the trial participants of work product responsive to the medical data.

Described is a system and method for generating an action plan for diagnosis and treatment of a patient. In particular, a historical database is complied which includes a plurality of records. Each record includes a personal profile and diagnosis data for a person. A plurality of characterizations and corresponding weighting coefficients are derived based on the records in the historical database. Pre-diagnostic patient profile data for a selected patient is obtained for the selected patient. One or more computing modules generate output data for the selected patient as a function of (i) the pre-diagnostic patient profile data, along with the physician's modifications, if any and (ii) the plurality of characterizations and corresponding weighting coefficients. The output data includes at least one of a diagnostic action plan, a confirmation action plan, a confirmation patient profile data and a therapeutic action plan.
摘要:
A body part is scanned to produce a first set of imaging data. A target lesion in the imaging data is identified. The body part is rescanned at a subsequent time so as to produce a second set of imaging data. The target lesion is identified in the second set of imaging data and the size of the target lesion is measured in the first and second sets of imaging data to determine two apparent image volumes corresponding to the first and second sets of imaging data. A change in size is estimated by comparing the first and second apparent lesion sizes. A variance on the change in size is estimated so as to determine a bound on the change in size measurement.
摘要:
The present invention relates to methods and systems for conducting three-dimensional image analysis and diagnosis and possible treatment relating thereto. The invention includes methods of handling signals containing information (data) relating to three-dimensional representation of objects scanned by a scanning medium. The invention also includes methods of making and analyzing volumetric measurements and changes in volumetric measurements which can be used for the purpose of diagnosis and treatment.

A visibility index for medical images. The method includes generating a visibility index from a training set of images; making a number of measurements of a set of features from an image of an abnormality that is not a member of the training set; and combining the number of measurements to generate a visibility score mapped to the visibility index.

A method for expanding the domain of imaging software in a diagnostic work-up includes the steps of: imaging a patient's body parts for a first condition using a first imaging technique directed to a first condition; acquiring known patient risk factors indicating a second condition; compensating for differences in accuracy between a first imaging technique directed to a first condition, and a second imaging technique directed to testing for the second condition to generate a set of measures; placing a range and confidence interval around the set of measures; and evaluating for a second condition using the set of measures and known patient risk factors.
摘要:
A system and method for providing remote analysis of medical imaging data. The system may include a remote server with a database and a plurality of imaging data analyzing modules. The remote server receives, via a communications network, medical data from a medical facility and stores the medical data in the database. The medical data includes at least one identifier and imaging data generated at the medical facility. The server receives a request for analysis of the imaging data from a user. In response to the user request, the server controls one of the plurality of modules to analyze the imaging data to generate output data which is stored in the database. The server provides at least one of the imaging data and the output data to a remote requester based on the at least one identifier.
