Medical scan assisted review system

A medical scan assisted review system is operable to receive, via a network, a medical scan for review. Abnormality data is generated by identifying a plurality of abnormalities in the medical scan by utilizing a computer vision model that is trained on a plurality of training medical scans. The abnormality data includes location data and classification data for each of the plurality of abnormalities. Text describing each of the plurality of abnormalities is generated based on the abnormality data. The abnormality data and the text is transmitted to a client device. A display device associated with the client device displays the abnormality data in conjunction with the medical scan via an interactive interface, and the display device further displays the text via the interactive interface.

System and method for imaging a subject

An X-ray source transmits X-rays through a subject and a detector receives the X-ray energy after having passed through the subject. A processing system generates a pre-shot image of the subject using low energy X-ray intensity from the X-ray source and determines a plurality of acquisition parameters for a main scan of the subject based on the pre-shot image. A saturation time of the detector for the corresponding acquisition parameters is determined based on detector calibration data and to determine a number of time frames required to reach the targeted dose based on the saturation time. An X-ray dosage level of the subject is then applied using the X-ray source based on the number of time frames and to generate the image of the subject based on the detected X-ray energy at the X-ray detector for the applied X-ray dosage level.
