Medical imaging reconstruction optimized for recipient

Abstract

A database (52) stores image recipient reconstruction profiles each comprising image reconstruction parameter values. An image reconstruction module (30) is configured to reconstruct medical imaging data to generate a reconstructed image. An image reconstruction setup module (50) is configured to retrieve an image recipient reconstruction profile from the database (52) for an intended image recipient associated with a set of medical imaging data and to invoke the image reconstruction module (30) to reconstruct the set of medical imaging data using image reconstruction parameter values of the retrieved image recipient reconstruction profile to generate a reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A feedback acquisition module (54) is configured to acquire feedback from the intended image recipient pertaining to the reconstructed image for the intended image recipient. A profile updating module (56) is configured to update the image recipient reconstruction profile of the intended image recipient based on the acquired 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
