FOREIGN OBJECT DETECTION PROTOCOL SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

The present invention relates to the coupling of medical procedures with protocols and advanced software applications, coordinating existing medical procedures and protocols with image detection software to integrate and enhance the identification of IMDs and the detection of RSIs. In one aspect, the emergency room or the operating room protocol is modified so that a scan or XR of the patient is taken for identification of any IMD's. In another aspect, the operating room protocol is modified so that there is an additional step of calibrating an intraoperative or post-operative scans or XR specifically for detecting RSIs and/or identifying IMDs in addition to any scans or XRs performed for the purpose of monitoring the treatment of the patient.
