Abstract:

Automatic detection of disease from analysis of echocardiographer findings in echocardiogram videos is provided. In various embodiments, a plurality of medical images containing embedded text are read. The plurality of medical images are clustered into a plurality of clusters. Medical images of a first cluster of the plurality of clusters are ranked based on the frequency of measurement names within the medical images of the first cluster. A candidate tabular template is generated indicative of a layout of measurement name/value pairs within the medical images of the first cluster. According to the candidate tabular template, optical character recognition is applied to one of the plurality of medical images of the first cluster to extract candidate measurements. The candidate tabular template and the candidate measurements are presented to a user.
