Last updated:

Abstract:

Apparatus, systems, and methods to improve imaging quality control, image processing, identification of findings in image data, and generation of notification at or near a point of care for a patient are disclosed and described. An example imaging apparatus includes a memory including chest image data and instructions and a processor. The example processor is to execute the instructions to at least: process the chest image data using a trained learning network in real time after acquisition of the chest image data to identify a pneumothorax in the chest image data; receive feedback regarding the identification of the pneumothorax; and, when the feedback confirms the identification of the pneumothorax, trigger a notification at the imaging apparatus to notify a healthcare practitioner regarding the pneumothorax and prompt a responsive action with respect to a patient associated with the chest image data.
