摘要:
A clinical decision support (CDS) system comprises a patient treatment histories database (10, 32) and a patient case navigation tool (10, 30) operative to select a patient treatment history from the patient treatment histories database and to display a flowchart representation (50) of at least a portion of the selected patient treatment history. Optionally, the navigation tool (10, 30) is further operative to selectively display a flowchart representation (64, 66) of a portion or all of a patient nonspecific treatment guideline not coinciding with the selected patient treatment history. Optionally, the CDS system further comprises a patient records query engine (10, 40) operative to receive a query and apply same against the patient treatment histories database to retrieve query results, the navigation tool (10, 30) being further operative to generate a query responsive to user input and to display query results retrieved for the query.

An oncology monitoring system comprises: an image analysis module (42, 44) configured to perform an oncological monitoring operation based on images of a subject, for example acquired by positron emission tomography (PET) and computed tomography (CT); and a clinical guideline support module (10). The clinical guideline support module is configured to: display a graphical flow diagram (GFD) of a clinical therapy protocol for treating the subject comprising graphical blocks (B0, B1 B2, B3, B4, B5, B21, B211, B22, B221, B222, B223, B23, B231, B232) representing therapeutic or monitoring operations of the clinical therapy protocol including at least one monitoring operation performed by the image analysis module; annotate a graphical block of the graphical flow diagram with subject-specific information pertaining to a therapeutic or monitoring operation represented by the graphical block; and display an annotation (POP) of a graphical block (B211) responsive to selection of the graphical block by a user.

摘要:
When treating a patient, clinical decision support system (CDSS) guidelines are employed to assist a physician in generating a treatment plan. These plans are generated using both imaging and non-imaging data. To accomplish this, the CDSS is interfaced with imaging systems (CADx, CAD, PACS etc.). A data-mining operation is performed to identify relevant patients with similar attributes such as diagnosis, medical history, treatment, etc from imaging and non-imaging data. Natural language processing is employed to extract and encode relevant non-imaging (textual) data from relevant patients' records. Additionally, an image of a current patient is compared to reference images in a patient database to identify relevant patients. Relevant patients are then identified to a user, and the user selects a relevant patient to view detailed information related to medical history, treatment, guidelines, efficacy, and the like.
摘要:
This invention relates to a method and device for case-based decision support. It proposes that a case-based decision support system is trained on inputs from several radiologists in order to have a “baseline” system, and then the system provides an option to a radiologist to refine the baseline system based on his/her inputs which either refine weights of features for similarity distance computation directly or provide new similarity ground truth clusters. By enabling modifying the similarity distance computation based on user inputs, this invention adapts similarity ground truth to different users with different experience and/or different opinions.

A method for computer aided detection (CAD) and classification of regions of interest detected within HRCT medical image data includes post-CAD machine learning techniques applied to maximize specificity and sensitivity of identification of a region/volume as being a nodule or non-nodule. The regions are identified by a CAD process, and automatically segmented. A feature pool is identified and extracted from each segmented region, and processed by genetic algorithm to identify an optimal feature subset, which subset is used to train the support vector machine to classify candidate region/volumes found within non-training data.

A system and method of processing a digital video signal for display on a display device, includes decoding an encoded digital video signal to produce a decoded digital video signal having a video source format; extracting coding information from the encoded digital video signal; executing a video quality improvement algorithm on the decoded digital video signal having the video source format using the extracted coding information, to produce a processed decoded digital video signal having the video source format; and converting the processed decoded digital video signal from the video source format to a video display format suitable for display on the display device. The system and method enhance the quality and/or reduce video artifacts in a video signal after it is decoded and prior to display on a display device.
摘要:
A control strategy is provided for dynamically encoding multiple streams of video data in parallel for multiplexing onto a constant bit rate channel. The control strategy is a single pass strategy which allows individual encode bit rates to be dynamically adjusted for each video data stream based on part in relative complexity of the multiple streams of video data, as well as fullness of compressed video data buffers and a channel buffer coupled between the encoders and the constant bit rate channel. The control strategy includes encoding the multiple streams of video frames in parallel, and dynamically adapting encoding of at least one stream of the video frames based on relative complexity of the video frames. The bit rate for each stream of video frames is only changed at GOP boundaries, or if a scene change occurs. The calculated bit rate is preferably further modified based upon buffer fullness.

A system and method for context-dependent data filtering for clinical decision support are disclosed. The system and method comprise determining values for characteristics of a present case, determining whether the present case is a special case based on the determined values, receiving input from a user verifying that the present case is the special case and saving the present case to a database containing a compilation of cases if the user verifies that the present case is the special case.

Methods for performing genetic algorithm-based feature selection are provided herein. In certain embodiments, the methods include steps of applying multiple data splitting patterns to a learning data set to build multiple classifiers to obtain at least one classification result; integrating the at least one classification result from the multiple classifiers to obtain an integrated accuracy result; and outputting the integrated accuracy result to a genetic algorithm as a fitness value for a candidate feature subset, in which genetic algorithm-based feature selection is performed.
