CAMERA VIEW AND SCREEN SCRAPING FOR INFORMATION EXTRACTION FROM IMAGING SCANNER CONSOLES - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18239152 titled 'CAMERA VIEW AND SCREEN SCRAPING FOR INFORMATION EXTRACTION FROM IMAGING SCANNER CONSOLES

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes an apparatus that provides remote assistance to a local operator of a medical imaging device. The apparatus includes a workstation at a remote location and an electronic processor that performs various functions during a medical imaging examination.

  • The apparatus extracts image frames from video or screen sharing of the medical imaging device's controller display.
  • It screen-scrapes information related to the medical imaging examination from the extracted image frames.
  • The apparatus maintains status information on the medical imaging examination using the screen-scraped information.
  • It outputs an alert at the remote location when the status information meets a specific alert criterion.

Potential Applications

  • Remote assistance in operating medical imaging devices.
  • Improved communication and collaboration between remote experts and local operators.
  • Real-time monitoring and support during medical imaging examinations.

Problems Solved

  • Limited availability of experts in operating medical imaging devices.
  • Difficulty in providing real-time assistance and support during medical imaging examinations.
  • Lack of efficient communication and collaboration between remote experts and local operators.

Benefits

  • Enables remote experts to provide guidance and support to local operators in real-time.
  • Improves the efficiency and accuracy of medical imaging examinations.
  • Reduces the need for on-site experts, saving time and resources.


Original Abstract Submitted

An apparatus provides remote assistance to a local operator of a medical imaging device disposed in a medical imaging device bay via a communication link from a remote location that is remote from the medical imaging device bay to the medical imaging device bay. The apparatus includes a workstation disposed at the remote location including at least one workstation display. At least one electronic processor is programmed to, over the course of a medical imaging examination performed using the medical imaging device: extract successive image frames from video or screen sharing of a controller display of the medical imaging device; screen-scrape information related to the medical imaging examination from the successive image frames over the course of the medical imaging examination; maintain status information on the medical imaging examination at least in part using the screen-scraped information; and output an alert perceptible at the remote location when the status information on the medical imaging examination satisfies an alert criterion.
