Abstract: The present disclosure provides means for improved medical image post-processing. It utilizes an image data post-processing mechanism (122) comprising an encoder (122A) configured to encode input image data with input image properties and a decoder (122B) configured to decode the input image data to provide output image data with output image properties different to the input image properties. The post-processing mechanism (122) comprises a first post-processing setting applied to the encoder and/or the decoder and assigned to first output image properties. Further, the post-processing mechanism (122) is configured to predict a second post-processing setting applicable to the encoder and/or the decoder and assigned to second output image properties. The post-processing mechanism (122) is further configured to provide an image proposal comprising the input image data post-processed with the predicted second post-processing setting. Furthermore, the post-processing mechanism (122) is configured to receive a feedback signal assigned to the image proposal, and to evaluate the predicted second post-processing setting based on the received feedback signal.

Abstract: The present invention relates to medical imaging. In order to reduce repeat images, it is proposed to enable automated prediction of quality metrics prior to image formation by exploiting data from sensors. This may greatly improve the quality of medical image data acquired in the actual imaging examination, thereby leading to fewer retakes, less delayed treatment to patients, shortened workflow, and higher patient rate. In X-ray and CT exams, fewer retakes may also reduce radiation doses for patients.

Abstract: The disclosure relates to a system for analysis of medical image data, which represents a two-dimensional or three-dimensional medical image. The system is configured to read and/or determine, for the medical image, a plurality of image quality metrics and to determine a combined quality metrics based on the image quality metrics. The system is further configured so that the determination of the combined quality metrics takes into account an interaction between the image quality metrics in their combined effect on the combined quality metrics.

Abstract: A computer implemented method of making a measurement associated with a feature of interest in an image. The method comprises using (302) a model trained using a machine learning process to take the image as input and predict a pair of points between which to make the measurement of the feature of interest in the image. The method then comprises determining (304) the measurement, based on the predicted pair of points.

Abstract: An X-ray imaging apparatus (XI) including an X-ray source (XS) with a cathode (C) and an anode (A). The source (XS) is to generate an X-radiation beam (XB). An X-ray detector (XD) detects the X-radiation after interaction with an imaged object (OB). The beam (XB) has different spectra on its anode side (AS) and cathode side (CS) caused by the heel effect when the X-ray source (XS) is in operation. -ray imaging apparatus (XI) has a heel-effect-harnessing (HH) mechanism configured to cause a pixel (PX) of the detector (XD) to be alternately exposed to both, the anode side (AS) and the cathode side (CS) of the beam (XB).
