INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING METAL ARTIFACT IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17825650 titled 'INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, MEDICAL IMAGE DIAGNOSTIC APPARATUS, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING SYSTEM FOR PROCESSING METAL ARTIFACT IMAGES
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes an information processing method for processing x-ray images. - The method involves obtaining three-dimensional image data with a lower radiation dose during a scan of a patient. - A trained neural network is used to detect the presence of artifacts, such as metal artifacts, in the image data. - An information processing apparatus with processing circuitry is used to perform the detection method. - Computer instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium enable a computer processor to perform the detection method.
Original Abstract Submitted
An information processing method processes an x-ray image including the steps of: obtaining first lower-radiation dose three-dimensional image data during a first scan of a patient; and detecting, using a trained neural network, a presence of an artifact (e.g., a metal artifact) in the first lower-radiation dose three-dimensional image data. An information processing apparatus includes processing circuitry for performing the detection method, and computer instructions stored in a non-transitory computer readable storage medium cause a computer processor to performing the detection method.
