    Abstract: According to an aspect there is provided a computer-implemented method of monitoring performance of a predictive computer-implemented model, PCIM, that is used to monitor the status of a first system. The PCIM receives as inputs observed values for a plurality of features relating to the first system, and the PCIM determines whether to issue status alerts based on the observed values. The method comprises: obtaining reference information for the PCIM, wherein the reference information for the PCIM comprises a first set of values for the plurality of features relating to the first system in a first time period; determining a set of reference probability distributions from the first set of values, the set of reference probability distributions comprising a respective reference probability distribution for each of the features that is determined from the values of the respective feature in the first set of values; obtaining operational information for the PCIM, wherein the operational information for the PCIM comprises a second set of values for the plurality of features relating to the first system in a second time period that is after the first time period; determining a set of operational probability distributions from the second set of values, the set of operational probability distributions comprising a respective operational probability distribution for each of the features that is determined from the values of the respective feature in the second set of values; determining a drift measure for the PCIM representing a measure of drift in performance of the PCIM between the first time period and the second time period, wherein the drift measure is based on a comparison of the set of reference probability distributions and the set of operational probability distributions; and output the drift measure.

    Abstract: Presented are concepts for detecting subject motion in medical imaging of a subject. One such concept obtains a motion classification model representing relationships between motion of image features and subject motion values. For each of a plurality of medical slice images of an imaged volume of the subject, an image feature of the medical slice image is extracted. Based on the extracted image feature for each of the plurality of medical slice images, motion information for the image feature is determined. Based on the motion information for the image feature and the obtained motion classification model, a subject motion value is determined.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to wake-up management. An apparatus is provided for assessing a wake-up procedure of a sedated patient in an imaging process. The apparatus comprises an input unit, a processing unit, and an output unit. The input unit is configured to receive patient profile data and sedation data comprising information about a sedation state of the sedated patient. The processing unit is configured to apply a data-driven model to the patient profile data and sedation data of the sedated patient to estimate at least one timing in the wake-up procedure of the sedated patient. The data-driven model has been trained on a training dataset obtained from historical data of one or more patients. The training dataset comprises patient profile data and sedation data of the one or more patients as training inputs and at least one timing in the wake-up procedure of the one or more patients as training outputs. The output unit is configured to provide the at least one estimated timing. The patients reaction to the sedation medication is patient specific and also the timing of the wake up procedure is patient specific. The timing prediction may help in understanding when the patient will wake-up from the sedation and hence next steps in the workflow, such as post imaging as exiting the bore, and/or performing autonomous standing up from the patient support.
