AI Technical Summary
When multiple medical institutions in a county-level medical consortium share a single imaging AI module, the problem of image queue scheduling is not properly resolved, which limits the practical application of imaging AI.
By setting the urgency level and computational load level of each imaging examination type, an imaging queue is formed, and scheduling management is carried out based on these criteria. This includes sequential scheduling based on urgency level (urgent, sub-urgent, non-urgent) and computational load level (high, medium, low). The processing order of the imaging queue is optimized by combining factors such as the imaging examination type and whether it is an emergency.
This achieves fairness and efficiency in image AI, saves medical costs, and allows each county-level medical institution to purchase only one AI module in the county's private cloud center, ensuring the practicality of regional center AI and meeting the importance and rationality of clinical needs.
