Abstract

A system for computer-aided triage includes and/or interfaces with a computing system. A method for computer-aided triage includes receiving a data packet including a set of images; and processing the set of images to determine a suspected condition and/or associated features. Additionally or alternatively, the method can include any or all of: preprocessing the set of images; triggering an action based on the suspected condition and/or associated features; determining a recipient based on the suspected condition; preparing a data packet for transfer; transmitting information to a device associated with the recipient; receiving an input from the recipient and triggering an action based on the input; aggregating data; and/or any other suitable processes.

Claims (15)

1 . A method for computer-aided detection and decision-making associated with a suspected pathology, the method comprising:

receiving a set of images associated with a patient;

processing the set of images with a set of trained models to automatically identify a set of suspected aneurysms; and

for each suspected aneurysm in the set of suspected aneurysms:

determining a set of measurements for the suspected aneurysm; and

annotating the set of images, comprising coloring a region of the set of images based on a size threshold, the set of measurements, and a location of the suspected aneurysm.

2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, for each suspected aneurysm, the region of the set of images is further colored based on a second size threshold.

3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, for each suspected aneurysm, the size threshold comprises at least one of a diameter threshold or a volume threshold.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein, for each suspected aneurysm, annotating the set of images further comprises annotating the set of images with the set of measurements.

5 . The method of claim 4 , wherein, for each suspected aneurysm, the set of measurements comprises a volume of the suspected aneurysm.

6 . The method of claim 5 , wherein, for each suspected aneurysm, the volume is determined based on a probability score associated with each voxel corresponding to the suspected aneurysm.

7 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising predicting a feature of a suspected aneurysm in the set of suspected aneurysms, the feature corresponding to a future time.

8 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the first set of images are associated with a first time, the method further comprising:

receiving a second set of images associated with a patient, the second set of images associated with a second time, wherein the set of suspected aneurysms have progressed between the first time and the second time; and

determining a comparison based on the first set of images and the second set of images.
