Method for organizing x-ray images of patients
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11918401B2) outlines a method and system for efficiently processing and organizing x-ray images of patients. The method involves capturing a variety of x-ray images of different anatomies of a patient using an x-ray machine and utilizing a machine learning algorithm to identify the anatomy in each image. The identified anatomies are then labeled based on a preset scheme and arranged in a predetermined order according to the patient's species. The processed images are then outputted in a data file, positioned correctly, and labeled for easy reference.
Furthermore, the system includes functions such as determining the necessary x-ray images for patient examination, providing feedback on capturing additional anatomy, comparing images for procedure requirements, and analyzing exposure quality. The system also offers real-time feedback on missing x-rays, species identification, and exposure settings. By incorporating machine learning and preset labeling schemes, this method and system aim to streamline the processing and organization of x-ray images, ensuring accurate identification and efficient management of patient data for medical examinations and procedures.
