A medical image processing device a reference image that is a medical image with which boundary line information related to a boundary line that is a boundary between an abnormal region and a normal region and landmark information related to a landmark that is a characteristic structure of the subject are associated and a captured image that is the medical image captured in real time, detects the landmark from the captured image, calculates a ratio of match between the landmark included in the reference image and the landmark included in the captured image, estimates a correspondence relationship between the reference image and the captured image on the basis of the ratio of match and information regarding the landmarks included in the reference image and the captured image, and generates a superimposition image in which the boundary line associated with the reference image is superimposed on the captured image on the basis of the correspondence relationship.

Systems and methods for detecting aortic aneurysms using ensemble based deep learning techniques that utilize numerous computed tomography (CT) scans collected from numerous de-identified patients in a database. The system includes software that automates the analysis of a series of CT scans as input (in DICOM file format) and provides output in two dimensions: (1) ranking CT scans by risks of adverse events from aortic aneurysm, (2) providing aortic aneurysm size estimates. A repository of CT scans may be used for training of deep neural networks and additional data may be drawn from localized patient information from institutions and hospitals which grant permission.

Ultrasound image devices, systems, and methods are provided. An ultrasound imaging system comprising a processor circuit in communication with an ultrasound probe comprising a transducer array, wherein the processor circuit is configured to receive, from the ultrasound probe, a first image of a patients anatomy; detect, from the first image, a first anatomical landmark at a first location along a scanning trajectory of the patients anatomy; determine, based on the first anatomical landmark, a steering configuration for steering the ultrasound probe towards a second anatomical landmark at a second location along the scanning trajectory; and output, to a display in communication with the processor circuit, an instruction based on the steering configuration to steer the ultrasound probe towards the second anatomical landmark at the second location.

Systems, methods, and executable programs for providing lung candidacy information to health care professionals. A method includes receiving three-dimensional image data categorized as lung lobe voxels, airway voxels, or lung fissure voxels. A fissure integrity score is generated for the lung fissure voxels. First perspective transparent views of the categorized lung lobe voxels, the categorized airway voxels, and the categorized lung fissure voxels are generated based on a first point of view. The first perspective view of the lung fissure voxels includes a visual representation of fissure integrity based on the generated fissure integrity scores for the corresponding voxels. A report is generated that includes the generated views. The report is outputted.

A novel system and method for accurate detection and quantification of fibrous tissue produces a virtual medical image of tissue treated with a second stain based on a received medical image of tissue treated with a first stain using a computer-implemented trained deep learning model. The model is trained to learn the deep texture patterns associated with collagen fibers using conditional generative adversarial networks to detect and quantify fibrous tissue.

Augmented reality security is enabled, e.g., to prevent transmission of maliciously manipulated augmented reality data. For instance, a device can comprise a processor, and a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising: based on a defined tampering criterion, determining whether a virtual frame, of a group of virtual frames received via a communication link established between the device and augmented reality equipment, has been modified without authorization, and in response to the virtual frame being determined to have been modified, causing the augmented reality equipment to stop displaying the group of virtual frames.

A method is for actuating a medical imaging device for generating a second three-dimensional image dataset including a target region in a region of interest of a patient with a functional impairment. The method includes providing a first three-dimensional image dataset including the region of interest of the patient; identifying the target region based on the first three-dimensional image dataset, a partial region of the region of interest with the functional impairment being determined; determining an imaging parameter for generating the second three-dimensional image dataset based on the identified target region; and actuating the medical imaging device based on the imaging parameter for the generation of the second three-dimensional image dataset.

A facility for processing a medical imaging image is described. The facility applies each of a number of constituent models making up an ensemble machine learning models to the image to produce a constituent model result that predicts a value for each pixel of the image. The facility aggregates the results produced by the constituent models of the plurality to determine a result of the ensemble machine learning model. For each of the pixels of the accessed image, the facility determines a measure of variation among the values predicted for the pixel among the constituent models. Facility determines a confidence measure for the ensemble machine learning model result based at least in part on for how many of the pixels of the accessed image a variation measure is determined that exceeds a variation threshold.

A device for locating target points on a magnetic resonance image of the brain of a subject includes a trained neural network configured to receive as input a 3D MR image of the brain of a subject, and to output the location, on the image, of at least one determined brain target point. The neural network includes a plurality of processing stages. Each processing stage processes an image at a respective resolution, and the processing stage of lowest resolution outputs an estimate of the location of each target point. Each other processing stage is configured to receive, from a lower resolution processing stage, an estimate of the locations of the target points, crop the input image to a smaller region surrounding each estimated target point, determine an updated estimate of the location of each target point, and provide the updated estimation to the processing stage of the next higher resolution.

Presented herein are systems and methods that provide for automated analysis of medical images to determine a predicted disease status (e.g., prostate cancer status) and/or a value corresponding to predicted risk of the disease status for a subject. The approaches described herein leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze intensities of voxels in a functional image, such as a PET image, and determine a risk and/or likelihood that a subject's disease, e.g., cancer, is aggressive. The approaches described herein can provide predictions of whether a subject that presents a localized disease has and/or will develop aggressive disease, such as metastatic cancer. These predictions are generated in a fully automated fashion and can be used alone, or in combination with other cancer diagnostic metrics (e.g., to corroborate predictions and assessments or highlight potential errors). As such, they represent a valuable tool in support of improved cancer diagnosis and treatment.
