SYSTEM UND VERFAHREN ZUR IDENTIFIZIERUNG VON IMPLANTIERTEN MEDIZINPRODUKTEN UND/ODER ERKENNUNG VON VERBLIEBENEN CHIRURGISCHEN FREMDKÖRPERN AUF MEDIZINISCHEN BILDERN
The present invention involves a computer-based system and method for detecting and identifying implantable medical devices ("IMDs") and/or retained foreign objects ("RFSOs") from diagnostic medical images. In some embodiments, the system provides further identification - information on the particular IMD or RSFO that has been recognized. For example, the system may be configures to provide information feedback regarding the IMD, such as detailed manual information, safety alerts, recall, access to its structural integrity, and/or suggested courses of action in a specific clinical setting/troubleshooting. Embodiments are contemplated in which the system is configured to report possible 3D locations of RSFOs in the surgical field/images.
