Abstract
Image processing and analysis technique includes using a computer apparatus to identify a region of pathology in a patient's magnetic resonance images and then automatically generating a prescription based on the identification of the pathology. Examples include an apparatus that identifies a region of acute infarction and prescribes additional scanning, a magnetic resonance angiographic sequence, and/or a perfusion sequence.
Claims20
A computer apparatus to analyze a patient's diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images for pathology and generate a prescription comprising:
- (a) a non-transitory memory configured to receive one or more diffusion weighted magnetic resonance images of a patient;
- (b) a program stored in the non-transitory memory and operatively configured to analyze said images 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.
A computer apparatus to analyze a patient's images for the presence of infarction and generate a prescription comprising:
- (a) a non-transitory memory configured to receive one or more images of a patient
- (b) a program stored in the non-transitory memory and operatively configured to analyze said images for a region including an infarction;
- 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.
