WEAKLY SUPERVISED LESION SEGMENTATION
A Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) can be trained, where the GAN includes an anomaly-removing Generator network configured to modify a medical image to remove a depiction of a biological anomaly and one or more Discriminator networks (each configured to discriminate between real and fake images). The anomaly-removing Generator network can then receive a medical image that depicts a particular biological anomaly (or pre-processed version thereof) and generate a modified image predicted to lack any depiction of the particular biological anomaly. The size of the particular biological anomaly may be estimated based on the modified image and the received image (or pre-processed version thereof).
HEADSET SYSTEM FOR BIOMEDICAL IMAGING FOR EARLY TUMOR DETECTION
An independent wearable biomedical imaging system for early tumor detection the system including a physician headset having a graphical display in wireless communication with a patient headset having a left and right camera. The physician headset includes a map template database disposed in the memory storage drive including data specifying anatomical location of a patient tumor using sclera scans of a patient sclera and iris received from the patient headset.

The physician may use the results in indicating strong genotype predisposition to tumors and tumor formation. The system algorithm would continue to amass biodata in the datasets helping the physician to increase accuracy in generating eye reports and statistical probability of tumor as well as genetic marker predisposition of the same.

Image processing apparatus for evaluating cardiac images and ventricular status identification method
An image processing apparatus for evaluating cardiac images and a ventricular status identification method are provided. In the method, a region of interest (ROI) is determined from multiple target images, a variation in grayscale values of multiple pixels in the ROIs of each target image is determined, and one or more representative images are obtained according to the variation in the grayscale values. The target image is related to the pixels within an endocardial contour of a left ventricle. A boundary of the ROI is approximately located at two sides of a bottom of the endocardial contour. The ROI corresponds to a mitral valve. The variation in the grayscale values is related to a motion of the mitral valve. The representative image is for evaluating a status of the left ventricle.
COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD, COMPUTER PROGRAM AND SURGICAL SYSTEM FOR DETERMINING THE VOLUMETRIC FLOW RATE OF BLOOD THROUGH A PORTION OF A BLOOD VESSEL IN A SURGICAL FIELD

A plurality of images (80.sub.1, 80.sub.2, 80.sub.3, 80.sub.4, . . . ) are provided, which are based on fluorescent light in the form of light having wavelengths lying within a fluorescence spectrum of the fluorophore, and which show the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88) at different recording times (t.sub.1, t.sub.2, t.sub.3, t.sub.4, . . . ). By processing at least one of the provided images (80.sub.1, 80.sub.2, 80.sub.3, 80.sub.4, . . . ), a diameter (D) and a length (L) of the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88) and also a time interval for a propagation of the fluorophore through the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88) are determined, which time interval describes a characteristic transit time (τ) for the fluorophore in the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88), in which a blood vessel model (M.sub.B.sup.Q) for the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88) is specified, which blood vessel model describes the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88) as a flow channel (94) having a length (L), having a wall (95) with a wall thickness (d), and having a free cross section Q.

The blood volume flow (I.sub.BI) is determined as a fluid flow guided through the flow channel (94) in the blood vessel model (M.sub.B.sup.Q), which fluid flow is calculated from the length (L) and the diameter (D) of the portion (90.sub.i) of the blood vessel (88) and from the characteristic transit time (τ) for the fluorophore in t
Transformation of digital pathology images
The invention relates to a method of identifying a biomarker in a tissue sample. The method comprises receiving an acquired image depicting a tissue sample, the pixel intensity values of the acquired image correlating with an autofluorescence signal or of an X-ray induced signal or a signal of a non-biomarker specific stain or a signal of a first biomarker specific stain adapted to selectively stain a first biomarker.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALZHEIMER?S DISEASE RISK QUANTIFICATION UTILIZING INTERFEROMETRIC MICRO - DOPPLER RADAR AND ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
A system and method for quantifying Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk using one or more interferometric micro-Doppler radars (IMDRs) and deep learning artificial intelligence to distinguish between cognitively unimpaired individuals and persons with AD based on gait analysis. The system utilizes IMDR to capture signals from both radial and transversal movement in three-dimensional space to further increase the accuracy for human gait estimation. New deep learning technologies are designed to complement traditional machine learning involving separate feature extraction followed-up with classification to process radar signature from different views including side, front, depth, limbs, and whole body where some motion patterns are not easily describable. The disclosed cross-talk deep model is the first to apply deep learning to learn IMDR signatures from two perpendicular directions jointly from both healthy and unhealthy individuals. Decision fusion is used to integrate classification results from feature-based classifier and deep learning AI to reach optimal decision.
