Abstract
The present disclosure provides techniques for free fluid estimation including identifying a region of free fluid in an diagnostic image, calculating a free fluid measure based on the region of free fluid identified in the diagnostic image, and generating a volume class for the region of free fluid in the diagnostic image, wherein the volume class is generated by comparison of the free fluid measure to a data set of previously stored free fluid measures. The present disclosure may be implemented as a method, in a device, a computer readable medium, and a system, among other form factors.
Claims17
A method for free fluid estimation, comprising:
- identifying a region of free fluid in an image;
- calculating a free fluid measure based on the region of free fluid identified in the image;
- generating a volume class for the region of free fluid in the image, wherein the volume class is generated by comparison of the free fluid measure to a data set of previously stored free fluid measures;
- and
- outputting a representation of the volume class to a graphical representation for display,
- wherein the graphical representation includes the volume class displayed in the context of at least one of:
- a binary classification;
- a linear scale;
- a plurality of severity levels;
- a non-linear scale;
- a numerical value;
- and
- a numerical range.
A system for free fluid estimation, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory comprising instructions that when executed on the processor, cause the processor to:
- identify a region of free fluid in an diagnostic image;
- calculate a free fluid measure based on the region of free fluid identified in the diagnostic image;
- and
- generate a volume class for the region of free fluid in the diagnostic image, wherein the volume class is generated by comparison of the free fluid measure to a data set of previously stored free fluid measures;
- and
- output a representation of the volume class to a graphical representation for display,
- wherein the graphical representation includes the volume class displayed in the context of at least one of:
- a binary classification;
- a linear scale;
- a plurality of severity levels;
- a non-linear scale;
- a numerical value;
- and
- a numerical range.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that when executed on a processor cause the processor to:
- identify a region of free fluid in an diagnostic image;
- calculate a free fluid measure based on the region of free fluid identified in the diagnostic image;
- and
- generate a volume class for the region of free fluid in the diagnostic image, wherein the volume class is generated by comparison of the free fluid measure to a data set of previously stored free fluid measures;
- and
- output a representation of the volume class to a graphical representation for display, wherein the graphical representation includes the volume class displayed in the context of at least one of:
- a binary classification;
- a linear scale;
- a plurality of severity levels;
- a non-linear scale;
- a numerical value;
- and
- a numerical range.
