Systems and methods to deliver point of care alerts for radiological findings

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium in an imaging apparatus including instructions which, when executed, cause at least one processor in the imaging apparatus to at least:

• evaluate the first image data with respect to an image quality measure;
• when the first image data satisfies the image quality measure, process the first image data using a trained learning network to generate a first analysis of the first image data;
• identify a clinical finding in the first image data based on the first analysis;
• compare the first analysis to a second analysis, the second analysis generated from second image data obtained in a second image acquisition;
• and
• when comparing identifies a change between the first analysis and the second analysis, trigger a notification at the imaging apparatus to notify a healthcare practitioner regarding the clinical finding and prompt a responsive action with respect to a patient associated with the first image data.

A computer-implemented method comprising:

• evaluating, by executed an instruction with at least one processor, the first image data with respect to an image quality measure;
• when the first image data satisfies the image quality measure, processing, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, the first image data using a trained learning network to generate a first analysis of the first image data;
• identifying, by executing an instruction with the at least one processor, a clinical finding in the first image data based on the first analysis;
• comparing, by executing an instructing with the at least one processor, the first analysis to a second analysis, the second analysis generated from second image data obtained in a second image acquisition;
• and
• when comparing identifies a change between the first analysis and the second analysis, triggering, by executing an instruction using the at least one processor, a notification at an imaging apparatus to notify a healthcare practitioner regarding the clinical finding and prompt a responsive action with respect to a patient associated with the first image data.
