Abstract:
A method for processing image data of an X-ray device (10) comprises the steps of: receiving a plurality of two-dimensional projection images (32) from an object of interest (22), wherein the projection images have been acquired by transmitting X-rays (20) through the object of interest (20) with respect to different view angles; generating a three- dimensional raw image volume (36) from the plurality of two-dimensional projection images (32) with respect to a coordinate grid (50) adapted to the geometry of the transmitted X-rays (20); and generating a deconvolved three-dimensional image (40) by applying a two- dimensional deconvolution to slices (52) of the three-dimensional raw image volume (36), which slices (32) are adapted to the coordinate grid (50).
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a medical system (100, 300) comprising a memory (110) storing machine executable instructions (116) and a super resolution neural network (118). The super resolution neural network is configured to receive an initial magnetic resonance image (114, 114′) descriptive of a subject (318), having a first resolution, and containing an image distortion artifact. The image distortion artifact is a Gibbs ringing image artifact. The super resolution neural network is configured to output an enhanced magnetic resonance image in response to receiving the initial magnetic resonance image. The enhanced magnetic resonance image has a second resolution, that is higher than the first resolution, and has a reduction or removal of the image distortion artifact. Execution of the machine executable instructions causes a computational system (104) to: receive (200) the initial magnetic resonance image and receive (204) the enhanced magnetic resonance image in response to inputting the initial magnetic resonance image in to the super resolution neural network.

Abstract:
A system (100) and computer-implemented method are provided for data collection for distributed machine learning of a machine learnable model. A privacy policy data (050) is provided defining computer-readable criteria for limiting a selection of medical image data (030) to a subset of the medical image data to obfuscate an identity of the at least one patient. The medical image data is selected based on the computer-readable criteria to obtain privacy policy-compliant training data (060) for transmission to another entity. The system and method enable medical data collection at clinical sites without requiring manual oversight, and enables such selections to be made automatically, e.g., based on a request for medical image data which may be received from outside of the clinical site.
