Recipient-optimized medical imaging reconstruction

Abstract

A database (52) stores image recipient reconstruction profiles, each of said image recipient reconstruction profiles including image reconstruction parameter values. An image reconstruction module (30) configured to reconstruct medical imaging data to generate reconstructed images. An image reconstruction setup module (50) configured to retrieve an image recipient reconstruction profile from said database (52) for an intended image recipient associated with a set of medical imaging data and configured to invoke said An image reconstruction module (30) to reconstruct the set of medical imaging data using the retrieved image recipient reconstruction profile image reconstruction parameter values ​​to generate a reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A feedback collection module (54) configured to collect feedback from the intended image recipient regarding the reconstructed image for the intended reconstruction recipient. A profile update module (56) configured to update the image recipient reconstruction profile for the intended image recipient based on the collected feedback.

Description

technical field [0001] The following relates to the field of medicine, the field of medical imaging, the field of imaging-based medical diagnosis and treatment, the field of medical image reconstruction, and related fields. Background technique [0002] Medical imaging is an important tool in clinical assessment, diagnosis, and monitoring, and is used in a variety of applications such as tumor assessment, radiation therapy planning and monitoring, cardiac assessment, and more. Medical imaging systems are purpose-built devices. In most medical facilities (eg, hospitals, clinics, etc.), medical imaging is performed as follows. First, a physician, radiologist, or other medical professional (hereinafter "physician") examines the patient and schedules a medical imaging session. Transfer the patient to a medical imaging facility, which may be within the hospital, or may be an outside party or affiliated facility. At the medical imaging facility, a technician performs imaging da...

Problems solved by technology

However, an objectively superior image may not be the preferred image for a physician making a diagnosis and thus needing to feel comfortable with the image

It is difficult or impossible for the manufacturer to provide a "one size fits all" reconstruction that will satisfy every physician using the imaging system
