US Patent 10499857 Medical protocol change in real-time imaging

Methods and systems for medical diagnosis by machine learning are disclosed. Imaging data obtained from different medical techniques can be used as a training set for a machine learning method, to allow diagnosis of medical conditions in a faster a more efficient manner. A three-dimensional convolutional neural network can be employed to interpret volumetric data available from multiple scans of a patient. The imaging data can be analyzed in real-time to prescribe additional testing while the patient is still within the medical facility.
