Abstract
The present invention relates to X-ray imaging. In order to improve X-ray imaging workflow, an image processing apparatus (10) is proposed that comprises an input (12), a processor (14), and an output (16). The input (12) is configured to receive a first X-ray image obtained in an image acquisition. The first X-ray image has a first view of a body part of a patient. The processor (14) is configured to generate, based on the received first X-ray image, a second X-ray image having a second view of the body part of the patient using a pre-trained machine-learning model. The second view is different from the first view. The output (16) is configured to output the generated second X-ray image.
Claims16
An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- an input configured to receive a first X-ray image obtained in an image acquisition, wherein the first X-ray image has a first view of a body part of a patient;
- a processor configured to generate, based on the received first X-ray image, a second X-ray image having a second view of the body part of the patient using a pre-trained machine-learning model, wherein the second view is different from the first view;
- and
- an output configured to provide the generated second X-ray image.
(canceled)
An image processing method, the method comprising:
- receiving a first X-ray image obtained in an image acquisition, wherein the first X-ray image has a first view of a body part of a patient;
- generating, based on the received first X-ray image, a second X-ray image having a second view of the body part of the patient using a trained machine-learning model, wherein the second view is different from the first view;
- and
- providing the generated second X-ray image.
(canceled)
(canceled)
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising executable instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform an image processing method, the method comprising:
- receiving a first X-ray image obtained in an image acquisition, wherein the first X-ray image has a first view of a body part of a patient;
- generating, based on the received first X-ray image, a second X-ray image having a second view of the body part of the patient using a trained machine-learning model, wherein the second view is different from the first view;
- and
- providing the generated second X-ray image.
