Ultrasonic diagnostic device for analyzing and displaying diagnosis accuracy rates
A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002201B2) discloses an ultrasonic diagnostic device that utilizes a processor to analyze ultrasound images of a subject and calculate the accuracy of diagnosis. The processor is configured to assess the probability of disease based on the first examination and compare it with analysis results from sample subjects to determine the rate of accuracy. Additionally, the device can display this rate of accuracy on a display device, providing valuable information for medical professionals.
Furthermore, the patent includes claims for an operation method of the ultrasonic diagnostic device and a non-transitory computer-readable recording medium with an executable program. These components enable the processor to analyze ultrasound images, calculate the accuracy of diagnosis for subsequent examinations, and display the results on a display device. By utilizing probabilities of diseases from sample subjects, the device can provide a comprehensive assessment of the subject's condition, enhancing the diagnostic process in medical settings. Overall, the patented technology offers a sophisticated approach to ultrasound diagnostics, incorporating machine learning models and probability calculations to improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency.
