1 TARIFF INTEGRATED WITH HIS AND PAC SYSTEMS, CLOSED-LOOP ADAPTIVE LEARNING BASED. CLINICAL DECISION SUPPORT SYSTEM TECHNICAL AREA 5 The invention targets HU in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations. In order to increase the rate of achievement of the value and minimize phase timing errors, Target HU estimation, integrating the patient's clinical data and historical imaging data. and equipped with automatic phase success scoring, a closed-loop adaptive learning mechanism. It includes a contrast optimization system. 10 The invention is particularly relevant in the field of medical imaging, especially computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. overcoming the current limitations in the use of contrast agents in examinations It offers an innovative system and method aimed at contrast in traditional clinical practice. Most of its parameters are based on kilogram-based standard protocols, manual data entry, and operator 15 Determining the target HU value systematically based on experience This leads to inaccessibility, insufficient contrast, and phase timing errors in the image. This leads to variability in quality, the need for repeat shots, and unnecessary use of contrast. This is the case. The present invention solves this technical problem by accessing age, height, weight, and other data through a hospital information system. Clinical data such as kidney function tests and images from the past 20 years are archived through the system. a central adaptive optimization engine that automatically integrates image series It solves this through the system. The system performs automatic domain analysis on the data it integrates and A target HU estimator engine that performs HU measurements, specific to anatomical region and phase type. It determines the ideal contrast range and shoots with an automatic phase success scoring module. It objectively quantifies the phase success obtained afterwards. 25 from these modules The data is processed within a closed-loop adaptive learning engine, and the shooting results are fed into the system. The system receives feedback and adjusts the contrast volume, injection rate, and timing parameters. It updates itself through continuous improvement. Furthermore, it facilitates matching similar patients within the system. Thanks to its algorithm, it learns from successful protocols of patients with similar clinical characteristics. It offers an optimized initial plan even for patients with limited data. Thus, the invention, 30 The manual and static protocol approach is being replaced by a data-driven, target-oriented, and outcome-learning adaptive approach. by transforming it into an optimization system, the rate at which the targeted contrast level is achieved It enhances, reduces phase failures, minimizes unnecessary contrast use, and By standardizing clinical workflows, it is important for patient safety and image quality. It offers progress. 35 2 PREVIOUS TECHNIQUE Contrast agent in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging examinations The application, in current clinical practice, largely relies on weight-based standard protocols and manuals. injection parameter input, fixed phase timing schemes and operator experience based It is based on decisions. In a typical workflow, patient information is stored in the hospital information system 5 It is located, the examination is planned via the radiology information system, contrast parameters The syringe is inserted manually, and the resulting images are stored in an image archiving system. They are being archived. However, these systems will form a closed loop with each other, and the results... It does not work in an integrated way in which it can learn. In current practices, the patient's age, height, weight, Clinical data such as body mass index, kidney function tests, and creatinine are mostly obtained manually. 10 current laboratory results are taken into consideration in the systematic optimization process. They are not included. As a result, even with the same clinical indication and patient characteristics Significant variations in image quality occur, depending on the targeted contrast level. It is not systematically achievable. Furthermore, the concept of "good contrast enhancement" is not present in existing systems. It is generally assessed subjectively, and the target is 15, specific to the anatomical region and phase type. HU value estimation is not performed. This situation makes contrast planning measurable and This leads to the fact that it is not based on a repeatable objective. Another important aspect of the current technique is... The deficiency lies in systematically extracting past examination data from the image archiving system. The problem is that it hasn't been learned. The contrast volume, injection speed, and timing used in the previous scan were all incorrect. Automatic matching and analysis between the actual image quality obtained with the parameters 20 There is no mechanism. Systematic analysis of successful or unsuccessful phase applications. Because no learning has taken place, the same mistakes occur in different patients and at different times. It can be repeated. However, in current clinical practice, arterial, portal or late phase Its accuracy largely depends on the operator's subjective interpretation, and there is no automatic and objective phase. There is no success score mechanism. Errors in phase timing are targeted at 25. This can lead to missing the contrast enhancement pattern and a decrease in the diagnostic value of the examination. The most significant technical limitation of current systems is closed-loop adaptive optimization. The mechanism is completely absent. The image quality obtained as a result of the shooting. Because metrics and phase success information are not fed back into the system, the system malfunctions over time. They are unable to improve and learn. As a natural consequence of these shortcomings, the current 30 The inability to systematically reach the targeted HU value in applications and phase timing issues. A fundamental technical problem arises in the form of variable image quality due to errors. This technical problem arises from insufficient contrast enhancement, incorrect phase capture, and the need for a repeat shot. need, additional radiation burden, unnecessary contrast use, increased kidney risk and workflow This leads to serious clinical consequences such as inefficiency. Current systems are hardware-oriented, protocol 35 based on and dependent on manual intervention, and completely lacking the ability to learn from the outcome. It is lacking. Therefore, in contrast application, a data-driven, adaptive, and closed-loop approach is necessary. 3 There is no optimization system. This technology was developed to fill this gap. The present invention integrates clinical data with hospital information systems and image archiving systems. and automatically analyzes past imaging results, makes target HU prediction, phase objectively scores its success and, most importantly, a closed-loop adaptive learning mechanism.
