Abstract
A method for determining image information for an image of an object includes obtaining at least one image of an object of interest, automatically determining an image type and a presence or absence of a contrast agent, automatically generating a label that indicates the image type and the presence or absence of the contrast agent, and modifying the at least one image to include the label. A system and non-transitory computer readable medium are also described herein.
Claims17
A method for determining image information for an image of an object, said method comprising:
- obtaining at least one image of an object of interest;
- automatically determining an image type and a presence or absence of a contrast agent;
- automatically generating a label, wherein the label indicates the image type and at least one of the presence or absence of the contrast agent;
- automatically selecting an image processing procedure based on the image type and the presence or absence of the contrast agent;
- automatically implementing the selected image processing procedure on the at least one image;
- and
- modifying the at least one image to include the label.
