A computer-based system and method(s) are described which detects and identifies implanted medical devices (&ldquoIMDs&rdquo) and/or retained surgical foreign objects (&ldquoRSFOs&rdquo) from diagnostic medical images. In some embodiments, the system provides further identification&mdashinformation on the particular IMD and/or RSFO that has been recognized. For example, the system could be configured to provide information feedback regarding the IMD, such as detailed manual information, safety alerts, recalls, assess 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.
