System and method for forming a super-resolution biomarker map image
A method includes obtaining image data, selecting image datasets from the image data, creating three-dimensional (3D) matrices based on the selected image dataset, refining the 3D matrices, applying one or more matrix operations to the refined 3D matrices, selecting corresponding matrix columns from the 3D matrices, applying big data convolution algorithm to the selected corresponding matrix columns to create a two-dimensional (2D) matrix, and applying a reconstruction algorithm to create a super-resolution biomarker map image.
Method and system for anatomical tree structure analysis
The present disclosure is directed to a computer-implemented method and system for anatomical tree structure analysis. The method includes receiving model inputs for a set of positions in an anatomical tree structure. The method further includes applying, by a processor, a set of encoders to the model inputs. Each encoder is configured to extract features from the model input at a corresponding position. The method also includes applying, by the processor, a tree structured network to the extracted features. The tree structured network has a plurality of nodes each connected to one or more of the encoders, and information propagates among the nodes of the tree structured network according to spatial constraints of the anatomical tree structure. The method additionally includes providing an output of the tree structured network as an analysis result of the anatomical tree structure analysis.

LEARNING DEVICE, LEARNING METHOD, LEARNING PROGRAM, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, INFORMATION PROCESSING METHOD, AND INFORMATION PROCESSING PROGRAM
A processor derives a first feature amount for an object included in an image by a first neural network, structures a sentence including description of the object included in the image to derive structured information for the sentence, and derives a second feature amount for the sentence from the structured information by a second neural network. The processor trains the first neural network and the second neural network such that, in a feature space to which the first feature amount and the second feature amount belong, a distance between the derived first feature amount and second feature amount is reduced in a case in which the object included in the image and the object described in the sentence correspond to each other.
Method and system for image processing to determine blood flow
Embodiments include a system for determining cardiovascular information for a patient. The system may include at least one computer system configured to receive patient-specific data regarding a geometry of the patient's heart, and create a three-dimensional model representing at least a portion of the patient's heart based on the patient-specific data. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a physics-based model relating to a blood flow characteristic of the patient's heart and determine a fractional flow reserve within the patient's heart based on the three-dimensional model and the physics-based model.
Automated detection and localization of bleeding
In accordance with the present disclosure, deep-learning techniques are employed to find anomalies corresponding to bleed events. By way of example, a deep convolutional neural network or combination of such networks may be trained to determine the location of a bleed event, such as an internal bleed event, based on ultrasound data acquired at one or more locations on a patient anatomy. Such a technique may be useful in non-clinical settings.
