Abstract
Image processing and analysis technique includes using a computer apparatus to assess a patient's magnetic resonance images or derived multiparametric maps for pathology and then automatically generate a prescription based at least in part on that assessment. The parametric maps are derived from an MRI sequence from which multiparametric maps are derivable.
Claims25
A computer apparatus to analyze a patient's multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (“MRI”) maps for pathology and generate a prescription comprising:
- (a) a non-transitory memory storing one or more parametric maps of a patient;
- the one or more maps derived from an MRI sequence from which multiparametric maps are derivable;
- (b) a program stored in the non-transitory memory and operatively configured to analyze the one or more parametric maps for a region including a pathology;
- and
- (c) a computer processor in communication with the non-transitory memory and configured to perform the program by executing computer executable instructions, wherein the program is operatively configured to automatically generate a prescription based at least in part on the analysis of the one or more parametric maps.
A computer system configured to analyze a patient's magnetic resonance images for pathology and generate a prescription, the computer system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more hardware storage devices having stored thereon computer-executable instructions which are executable by the one or more processors to cause the computer system to at least:
- (a) receive magnetic resonance images of a patient;
- (b) derive one or more MRI parametric maps from the magnetic resonance images;
- (c) analyze one or more derived parametric maps for a region including a pathology;
- and
- (d) automatically generate a prescription based at least in part on the analysis of the one or more derived parametric maps.
