Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Accurate information concerning implanted medical devices prior to a Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination is crucial to assure safety of the patient and to address MRI induced unintended changes in device settings. The identification of these devices still remains a very challenging task. In this paper, with the aim of providing a faster device detection, we propose the adoption of deep learning for medical device detection from X-rays.
