Abstract:
Some aspects include a method of detecting change in degree of midline shift in a brain of a patient. The method comprises, while the patient remains positioned within the low-field magnetic resonance imaging device, acquiring first magnetic resonance (MR) image data and second MR image data of the patient's brain; providing the first and second MR data as input to a trained statistical classifier to obtain corresponding first and second output, identifying, from the first output, at least one initial location of at least one landmark associated with at least one midline structure of the patient's brain; identifying, from the second output, at least one updated location of the at least one landmark; and determining a degree of change in the midline shift using the at least one initial location of the at least one landmark and the at least one updated location of the at least one landmark.

Claim (Index 17):
A low-field magnetic resonance imaging device configured to detect change in degree of midline shift in a brain of a patient positioned within a low-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) device, the low-field MRI device comprising:\n a plurality of magnetic components, including:\n a B0 magnet configured to produce, at least in part, a B0 magnetic field; \n at least one gradient magnet configured to spatially encode magnetic resonance data; and \n at least one radio frequency coil configured to stimulate a magnetic resonance response and detect magnetic components configured to, when operated, acquire magnetic resonance image data; and \n at least one controller configured to operate the plurality of magnet components to, while the patient remains positioned within the low-field magnetic resonance device, acquire first magnetic resonance (MR) image data of the patient's brain, and acquire second MR image data for the portion of the patient's brain subsequent to acquiring the first MR image data, wherein the at least one controller further configured to perform:\n providing the first and second MR data as input to a trained statistical classifier to obtain corresponding first output and second output; \n identifying, from the first output, at least one initial location of at least one landmark associated with at least one midline structure of the patient's brain; \n identifying, from the second output, at least one updated location of the at least one landmark associated with the at least one midline structure of the patient's brain; and \n determining a degree of change in the midline shift using the at least one initial location of the at least one landmark and the at least one updated location of the at least one landmark.
