Abstract

A method for processing medical images includes analyzing a medical image to detect a medical condition from a list of medical conditions, wherein the list of medical conditions includes aortic dissection, pulmonary embolism, and coronary stenosis. Responsive to determining the medical image includes a first medical condition, the method generates a first report that includes information on a detection of the first medical condition. The method identifies, a medical specialist based on availability and medical expertise and sends to the identified medical specialist, the medical image and the first report for a decision on the detection of the first medical condition. Responsive to receiving the decision from the medical specialist, the method sends to a second electronic device, the decision, the medical image, and the first report.

Claims (12)

1. A method comprising:

creating, by one or more processors, a two-dimensional image of the medical image to detect a medical condition that includes aortic dissection, wherein the two-dimensional view is a cross-sectional view of an aorta perpendicular to a point along the aorta center line, wherein the two-dimensional image is created at a first angle from a plurality of slices of the medical image at a second angle;

determining, by one or more processors, whether a flap present based on a plurality of historic images, wherein the flap in the aorta indicates aortic dissection;

responsive to determining the medical image includes a first medical condition, generating, by one or more processors, a first report that includes information on a detection of the first medical condition;

identifying, by one or more processors, a medical specialist based on availability and medical expertise;

sending, by one or more processors, to a first electronic device associated with the identified medical specialist, the medical image and the first report to receive a decision on the detection of the first medical condition from the identified medical specialist; and

responsive to receiving the decision from the medical specialist, sending, by one or more processors, to a second electronic device, the decision, the medical image, and the first report.

2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

generating, by one or more processors, a synthetic image based on the medical image highlighting the first medical condition in the medical image.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprises:

sending, by one or more processors, to the first electronic device associated with the identified medical specialist, the synthetic image.

4. The method of claim of 1 , wherein identifying a medical specialist is based on availability and location.
