ABSTRACT:
A medical image acquisition error detection technique is presented which exploits the special characteristics of medical images to detect possible errors. In general, the presented technique categorizes medical images based on the type of images. For each category, a type of standard image is computed which represents the typical characteristics of images within a category. Then, exemplary images in a category are compared to the standard image for that category to establish an acceptable difference between actual images and the standard image for the category under consideration. When a medical image is to be examined for possible acquisition errors, it is categorized and a measure of difference between the image and the standard image for the category is computed. If the measure of difference falls outside the acceptable difference for the category, the image is deemed to contain an acquisition error and an alert is issued.
