COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR PROVIDING A POSITIONING SCORE REGARDING A POSITIONING OF AN EXAMINING REGION IN AN X-RAY IMAGE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18476533 titled 'COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD FOR PROVIDING A POSITIONING SCORE REGARDING A POSITIONING OF AN EXAMINING REGION IN AN X-RAY IMAGE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a computer-implemented method for providing a positioning score regarding a positioning of an examining region in an X-ray image. The method involves receiving input data, detecting regions of interest in the X-ray image, generating individual scores for each region of interest, and ultimately providing a positioning score.
- Input data received includes an X-ray image with the examining region.
- A first trained function is applied to detect regions of interest and generate a heatmap.
- A second trained function is applied to generate individual scores for each region of interest and a score-weighted heatmap.
- A third trained function is applied to generate a positioning score based on the input data and the score-weighted heatmap.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in medical imaging for assessing the positioning of examining regions in X-ray images, potentially aiding in diagnostic accuracy and treatment planning.
Problems Solved
This technology helps in automating the process of evaluating the positioning of examining regions in X-ray images, reducing the potential for human error and improving efficiency in medical imaging analysis.
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in assessing the positioning of examining regions in X-ray images - Enhanced efficiency in medical imaging analysis - Potential for quicker diagnosis and treatment planning
Potential Commercial Applications
"Computer-Implemented Method for Providing a Positioning Score in X-ray Images" could find applications in medical imaging software development, healthcare technology companies, and radiology departments looking to streamline their image analysis processes.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be the use of machine learning algorithms in medical imaging analysis to detect regions of interest and generate scores for specific areas in X-ray images.
