USPTO Patent Application for CT Machine Monitoring Video Generation
Summary
The USPTO has published a patent application from Siemens Shanghai Medical Equipment Ltd. for a method of generating monitoring videos for CT machines. The application details a process for identifying keyframes and bounding boxes around a monitored target to create real-time monitoring videos.
What changed
This document is a publication of a US patent application (US20260082020A1) filed by Siemens Shanghai Medical Equipment Ltd. The application describes a method for generating monitoring videos for CT machines. The core of the invention involves acquiring primary videos, determining keyframes and bounding boxes around a monitored target, and selecting frames with the largest target area to generate real-time monitoring videos.
This is a patent application, not a regulatory rule or enforcement action. It does not impose any new compliance obligations or deadlines on regulated entities. Its primary relevance is for companies involved in medical device innovation, intellectual property strategy, and potentially for manufacturers of CT machines and related diagnostic equipment.

Abstract
A monitoring video generation method applicable to a CT machine, including: acquiring a plurality of primary videos including a monitored target, determining a keyframe according to a region in an initial frame of each primary video surrounding the monitored target, and determining a bounding box surrounding the monitored target in the keyframe; determining, for each primary video, a bounding box surrounding the monitored target in each subsequent frame; and selecting, for each frame moment from the frames of the plurality of primary videos, a frame in which the region of the monitored target within the bounding box has a largest area as the keyframe, and generating a monitoring video in real time according to a part of each selected keyframe located within the bounding box.
