Zusammenfassung

Already before systems malfunction one has to know if hardware components will fail in near future in order to counteract in time. Thus, unplanned downtime is ought to be avoided. In medical imaging, maximizing the system’s uptime is crucial for patients’ health and healthcare provider’s daily business. We aim to predict failures of Head/Neck coils used in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) by training a statistical model on sequential data collected over time. As image features depend on the coil’s condition, their deviations from the normal range already hint to future failure. Thus, we used image features and their variation over time to predict coil damage. After comparison of different time series classification methods we found Long Short Term Memorys (LSTMs) to achieve the highest F-score of 86.43% and to tell with 98.33% accuracy if hardware should be replaced.
