    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing a quality of images generated by a computed tomography (CT) system. In one example, an initial assessment of contrast timing and flow through different anatomical regions of a patient is performed, and based on the initial assessment, different visualization schemes are applied to the different anatomical regions of a reconstructed image, where each visualization is optimized for assessing a different anatomical region. The visualizations may increase a contrast between diseased tissues and non-diseased tissues of the different anatomical regions, and may include color maps (e.g., heat maps and/or probability maps) and/or color overlays based on spectral decomposition information. The different visualizations may be combined into a single 2D image, where each anatomical region (e.g., organ, bone, etc.) is displayed in high contrast, and where aspects of various anatomical regions may be highlighted or colorized to visualize specific information.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for automatically detecting scan characteristics of a medical image series. According to an embodiment, a system is provided that comprises a memory that stores computer executable components, and a processor that executes the computer executable components stored in the memory. The computer executable components comprise an image generation component that generates a representative image of a medical image series comprising a plurality of scan images, and a series characterization component that processes the representative image using one or more characteristic detection algorithms to determine one or more characteristics of the medical image series. The system can further tailor the visualization layout for viewing the medical image series based on the one or more characteristics and/or automatically perform various workflow tasks based on the one or more characteristics.

    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for increasing a quality of images generated by a computed tomography (CT) system. In one example, an initial assessment of contrast timing and flow through different anatomical regions of a patient is performed, and based on the initial assessment, different visualization schemes are applied to the different anatomical regions of a reconstructed image, where each visualization is optimized for assessing a different anatomical region. In particular, color maps (e.g., heat maps and/or probability maps) and/or color overlays based on material decomposition information may be superimposed on contrast-optimized images, where the color maps accentuate a contrast between diseased tissues and healthy tissues. An automated report may be generated including a first visualization based on a first scan, and a second visualization based on a second, earlier scan, to show a progression of a disease of the patient.

    Abstract: Techniques are described for domain adaptation of image processing models using post-processing model correction According to an embodiment, a method comprises training, by a system operatively coupled to a processor, a post-processing model to correct an image-based inference output of a source image processing model that results from application of the source image processing model to a target image from a target domain that differs from a source domain, wherein the source image processing model was trained on source images from the source domain. In one or more implementations, the source imaging processing model comprises an organ segmentation model and the post-processing model can comprise a shape-autoencoder. The method further comprises applying, by the system, the source image processing model and the post-processing model to target images from the target domain to generate optimized image-based inference outputs for the target images.

    Abstract: The current disclosure provides systems and methods for automatic image alignment of three-dimensional (3D) medical image volumes. The method includes pre-processing the 3D medical image volume by selecting a sub-volume of interest, detecting anatomical landmarks in the sub-volume using a deep neural network, estimating transformation parameters based on the anatomical landmarks to adjust rotation angles and translation of the sub-volume, adjusting the rotation angles and translation to produce a first aligned sub-volume, determining confidence in the transformation parameters based on the first aligned sub-volume, and iteratively refining the transformation parameters if the confidence is below a predetermined threshold. The disclosed approach for automated image alignment reduces the need for manual alignment and, increases a probability of the 3D image volume converging to a desired orientation compared to conventional approaches.
