DETERMINING A CLINICAL PARAMETER VIA EVALUATION OF SEQUENTIAL MEDICAL IMAGES

摘要

Systems and methods are provided for determining a clinical parameter via evaluation of sequential medical images. A sequence of at least three medical images for a patient are captured at a scanner. A set of at least two difference images are generated from the sequence of at least three medical images. Each difference image represents a difference in content between two adjacent images in the sequence of at least three medical images. The set of at least two difference images are provided to a predictive model. The predictive model includes an artificial neural network having at least one convolutional layer. A clinical parameter for the patient is determined at the predictive model from at least the set of at least two difference images.
