Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enhanced heart medical imaging operations, particularly as by incorporating use of artificial intelligence (AI) based fetal heart functional analysis and/or real-time and automatic ejection fraction (EF) measurement and analysis.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- a medical imaging device comprising at least one processor, wherein the medical imaging device is configured to:
- acquire one or more medical images during examination of a heart of a patient;
- and
- display the one or more medical images via a display device;
- and
- wherein the processor is configured to, in real-time during the examination of the heart:
- process the one or more medical images;
- automatically identify at least one structure of the heart;
- automatically identify a contour of the at least one structure;
- indicate the contour in the one or more medical images, during the displaying of the one or more medical image;
- and
- provide during the indicating of the contour, a quality indicator associated with the contour.
A non-transitory computer readable medium having stored thereon, a computer program having at least one code section, the at least one code section being executable by a machine comprising at least one processor, for causing the machine to perform one or more steps comprising:
- acquiring one or more medical images during examination of a heart of a patient;
- displaying the one or more medical images;
- and
- in real-time, during the examination of the heart:
- processing the one or more medical images;
- automatically identifying at least one structure of the heart;
- automatically identifying a contour of the at least one structure;
- indicating the contour in the one or more medical images, during the displaying of the one or more medical image;
- and
- providing during the indicating of the contour, a quality indicator associated with the contour.
