Abstract:
A system and method for completing a medical record includes receiving a request for creating a medical record for a completed medical procedure. Text macros that are relevant to the completed medical procedure are retrieved. Each of the retrieved text macros have at least one text block. A report structure for reporting the completed medical procedure is selected. A text macro is selected from the retrieved text macros. A determination is made as to the compatibility between the selected report structure and the retrieved text macros. If the selected text macro is compatible, report sections indicated by the selected report structure are created and text blocks of the selected text macro are used to update the created report sections.

Method of segmenting anatomical structures such as organs in 3D scans in an architecture that combines U-net, time-distributed convolutions and bidirectional convolutional LSTM.
Abstract:
A system and method for collecting medical image data items. A central processor identifies a new medical image data file on a remote image storage memory. The central processor determines that the new medical image data file is a completed file and copies the completed file to a central storage memory. The central processor determines an expected set of files corresponding to the medical image data file that defines a medical image data item. The central processor determines that each of the medical image data files in the expected set have been copied to the central storage memory. The central processor then generates an indicator that the medical image date item is available on the central storage memory.
Abstract:
A system and method for managing medical image data items. A large image manager is used to store medical image data items external to a core PACS. Representative objects are generated and provided to the PACS to be incorporated into the core PACS workflows. The representative objects can be generated by extracted pixel data and metadata from the medical image data items. The representative objects are generated in a format compatible with the protocol used by the PACS workflows. Requests sent to the PACS for medical images can be re-routed to the large image manager to provide the requested images.
Abstract:
A region of interest first displayed on a model image of the object, is mapped onto corresponding location on the object defined relative to determined locations of predefined features. A source of radiation is set so that the region of interest on the object, is irradiated.
Abstract:
A method of manufacturing a radiography flat panel detector comprising the coating of a coating dispersion of scintillator particles on a sensor panel by means of a coating device comprising a carriage, the carriage containing a blade (1 ) connected to a pair of opposing side-walls (3), the side-walls having an inner side (4), an outer side (5) and a under side, means for height adjustment (7) in order to obtain a first gap between the under side of the side-walls and the surface of the support (9), a second gap between the blade and the support, the device further contains means (10) for lateral moving the carriage relative to the support in the coating direction, so as to maintain the gap between the under side of the side- walls (6) and the surface of the sensor panel.
Abstract:
A method for reshaping the characteristic exposure response and dosimetry of a direct radiography system into a specified exposure response profile by pixel-wise converting image data according to a response transfer model which is derived from an x-ray generator' s post exposure parameters data associated with image signals obtained at various exposure levels during system calibration and from a few extra dose measurements and their corresponding post exposure data also gathered during system calibration under reference exposure conditions.
Abstract:
A visual indication is generated of depth locations of slices obtained by applying a reconstruction algorithm in a computed tomography method with given settings, the display being shown on the object, e.g. on the patient's lateral side or in close relation to the patient.
Abstract:
A method for generating an image from within an optical scattering specimen by means of an optical coherence tomography imaging step (OCT) wherein the OCT step is preceded by pre-treating said specimen by subjecting it directly to a flash illumination within a wavelength range of 950 - 1250 nm.
Abstract:
The motion correction method is a 2 step method. The first step comprises a global motion correction using the bilinear warping technique and a rough delineation of the lung fields. One of the native images (low energy image, high energy image) is deformed to match the other image. In a second step local motion corrections are applied to the globally motion corrected image by computing a proximity value in small overlapping tiles. Only tiles with a sufficient high proximity value are taken into account. The maximum shift applied in this second step is limited to a few pixels to avoid strong deformations of the native images.
