    Abstract: The invention relates to a scan region determining apparatus (12) for determining a scan region of a subject to be scanned by a scanning system (10) like a computed tomography system. A spatial transformation defining a registration of an overview image and a template image with respect to each other is determined, wherein initially the overview image and the template image are registered by using an element position indicator being indicative of a position of an element of the subject with respect to the overview image. A template scan region is defined with respect to the template image, wherein a final scan region is determined by projecting the template scan region onto the overview image by using the determined spatial transformation. The registration and thus the determination of the spatial transformation are very robust, which improves the quality of determining the final scan region.

    Abstract: An apparatus (10) for assessing radiologist performance includes at least one electronic processor (20) programmed to: during reading sessions in which a user is logged into a user interface (UI) (27), present (98) medical imaging examinations (31) via the UI, receive examination reports on the presented medical imaging examinations via the UI, and file the examination reports; and perform a tracking method (102, 202) including at least one of: (i) computing (204) concurrence scores (34) quantifying concurrence between clinical findings contained in the examination reports and corresponding computer-generated clinical findings for the presented medical imaging examinations which are generated by a computer aided diagnostic (CAD) process miming as a background process during the reading sessions; and/or (ii) determining (208) reading times (38) for the presented medical imaging examinations wherein the reading time for each presented medical imaging examination is the time interval between a start of the presenting of the medical imaging examination via the user interface and the filing of the corresponding examination report; and generating (104) at least one time-dependent user performance metric (36) for the user based on the computed concurrence scores and/or the determined reading times.

    Abstract: A system and method for prioritizing a set of medical images to be evaluated using a machine learning model, including: training the machine learning model using a training data set, wherein the machine learning model receives input medical images and outputs a medical condition shown in the input medical images; running the trained machine learning model on the set of medical images to be evaluated to produce a medical condition output for each of the set of medical images; calculating a likelihood score for each medical condition outputs based upon a determined statistical parameters for the different outputs of the machine learning model; and determining the order of the set of input images to be evaluated based upon the calculated likelihood score and a severity of the medical condition outputs.

    Abstract: A method includes displaying an iconic image of the human body and a list of predetermined anatomical regions. The method further includes displaying, in response to a user selected anatomical region, a scan box over a sub-portion of the iconic image. The method further includes receiving an input indicative of at least one of a scan box location of interest or a scan box geometry of interest, with respect to the anatomical region, of the first user. The method further includes at least one of re-locating or changing a geometry of the first initial scan box, in response thereto, creating a first user defined scan box for the first user. The method further includes creating a first transformation between a first template image representative of the selected anatomical region and the iconic image with the first user defined scan box for the first user, and storing the first transformation.
