Abstract
The invention provides, in some aspects, a system for implementing a rule derived basis to display image sets. In various embodiments of the invention, the selection of the images to be displayed, the layout of the images, as well as the rendering parameters and styles can be determined using a rule derived basis. The rules are based on meta data of the examination as well as image content that is being analyzed by neuronal networks. In an embodiment of the present invention, the user is presented with images displayed based on their preferences without having to first manually adjust parameters.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- (a) selecting a study of a patient selected from a plurality of primary studies;
- (b) selecting as a ParameterA an anatomical characteristic which identifies an anatomical feature in the study, where the anatomical characteristic is selected from the group consisting of CERVICAL SPINE, CERVICAL VERTEBRAE, LUMBAR SPINE, LUMBAR VERTEBRAE, NECK, SACRAL SPINE, SACRUM, SPINE, THORACIC SPINE, THORACIC VERTEBRAE, and VERTEBRAE;
- (c) executing on a server digital data processor a render server program comprising:
- (i) identifying one or more ImageContentBased parameters from the study using convolutional neural networks based on the anatomical characteristic and the anatomical feature;
- (ii) inspecting the plurality of primary studies to identify in one or more secondary studies the one or more of the one or more ImageContentBased parameters;
- and
- (iii) generating a list tabulating the one or more secondary studies;
- and
- (d) displaying the list generated in step (c) (iii).
