SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18676487 titled 'SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR MEDICAL IMAGING
Simplified Explanation:
This patent application describes a method and system for medical imaging that involves obtaining an optical image of a target subject, identifying body part boundaries and feature points, and determining edges of the target region based on these identified points.
- The method involves obtaining a first optical image of a target subject with a target region to be scanned or treated.
- Body part boundaries and feature points of the target subject are identified using a target recognition model.
- An image region corresponding to the target region is identified based on the body part boundaries and feature points.
- The edges of the image region are determined based on the identified body part boundaries and feature points.
Key Features and Innovation:
- Utilizes optical imaging for medical purposes.
- Incorporates target recognition models for identifying body part boundaries and feature points.
- Enables precise identification and delineation of target regions for scanning or treatment.
Potential Applications:
- Medical imaging for diagnostic purposes.
- Image-guided medical procedures.
- Treatment planning in healthcare settings.
Problems Solved:
- Accurate identification of target regions in medical imaging.
- Improved precision in medical procedures.
- Enhanced visualization for healthcare professionals.
Benefits:
- Enhanced accuracy in medical imaging.
- Improved patient outcomes.
- Streamlined medical procedures.
Commercial Applications:
The technology described in this patent application could have potential commercial applications in the fields of medical imaging equipment manufacturing, healthcare software development, and medical device companies. The precise identification and delineation of target regions could improve the efficiency and effectiveness of various medical procedures, leading to better patient care and outcomes.
Questions about Medical Imaging Technology: 1. How does the use of optical imaging in medical procedures compare to other imaging modalities? 2. What are the potential limitations of using target recognition models in medical imaging technology?
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and a system for medical imaging may be provided. A first optical image of a target subject that includes a target region to be scanned or treated by a medical device may be obtained. At least one body part boundary and at least one feature point of the target subject may be identified using at least one target recognition model from the first optical image. An image region corresponding to the target region of the target subject may be identified from the first optical image based on the at least one body part boundary and the at least one feature point. At least one first edge of the image region may be determined based on the at least one body part boundary, and at least one second edge of the image region may be determined based on the at least one feature point.
