ANALYSIS METHOD FOR BREAST IMAGE AND ELECTRONIC APPARATUS USING THE SAME
An analysis method and an electronic apparatus for breast image are provided. The method includes the following steps. One or more breast ultrasound images are obtained. The breast ultrasound images are used for forming a three-dimensional (3D) breast model. A volume of interest (VOI) in the breast ultrasound image is obtained by applying a detection model on the 3D breast model. The VOI is compared with a tissue segmentation result. The VOI is determined as a false positive according to a compared result between the VOI and the tissue segmentation result. The compared result includes that the VOI is located at a glandular tissue based on the tissue segmentation result. In response to the VOI being located in the glandular tissue of the tissue segmentation result, the VOI is compared with the lactiferous duct in the 3D breast model.
Detection of Polyps
Identifying polyps or lesions in a colon. In some variations, computer-implemented methods for polyp detection may be used in conjunction with an endoscope system to analyze the images captured by the endoscopic system, identify any polyps and/or lesions in a visual scene captured by the endoscopic system, and provide an indication to the practitioner that a polyp and/or lesion has been detected.
LEARNING DEVICE, LEARNING METHOD, LEARNING PROGRAM, AND MEDICAL USE IMAGE PROCESSING DEVICE
A first processor of a learning device reads out a first medical use image having a disease label from a data set stored in a memory and inputs the read out first medical use image to a first learning model. The first medical use image is normalized based on a lung field region extracted by the first learning model, and a second learning model that has not been trained and detects a disease is trained by using the normalized first medical use image and the disease label. In a case in which the second learning model is trained, a value of the uncertainty of the first medical use image is calculated based on the uncertainty simultaneously estimated by the first learning model, and the first medical use image having a large value of uncertainty is excluded from learning data.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING RECURRENCE OF A DISEASE
A method for determining a recurrence of a disease in a patient is presented. The method includes generating a plurality of medical images of an organ of the patient and determining a plurality of recurrence probabilities from the plurality of medical images. A recurrence of the disease is determined based on the plurality of recurrence probabilities and clinicopathological data of the patient using a Bayesian network.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR COMPARING IMAGES OF EVENT INDICATORS
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for determining whether two images of a gastrointestinal tract (GIT) contain the same occurrence of an event indicator or different occurrences of an event indicator. An exemplary processing system includes at least one processor and at least one memory storing instructions. When the instruction are executed by the processor(s), they cause the processing system to access a first image and a second image of a portion of a GIT, where the first image and the second image contain at least one occurrence of an event indicator, and to classify the first image and the second image by a classification system configured to provide an indication of whether the first image and second image contain a same occurrence of the event indicator or contain different occurrences of the event indicator.
Systems and methods for automated detection of visual objects in medical images
There is provided a computer implemented method for identification of an indication of visual object(s) in anatomical image(s) of a target individual, comprising: providing anatomical image(s) of a body portion of a target individual, inputting the anatomical image(s) into a classification component of a neural network (NN) and into a segmentation component of the NN, feeding a size feature into the classification component of the NN, wherein the size feature comprises an indication of a respective size of each segmented visual object identified in the anatomical image(s), the size feature computed according to segmentation data outputted by the segmentation component for each pixel element of the anatomical image(s), and computing, by the classification component of the NN, an indication of visual object(s) in the anatomical image(s).
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR GENERATING CLINICAL RECORD DATA
The present disclosure relates to a method and device for generating clinical record data for recording medical treatment. The method includes receiving medical data in which medical treatment, performed in advance, is recorded; recording information, included in the medical data, in a layer corresponding to an item related to the medical data from among a plurality of layers classified according to a plurality of items; and generating a clinical report based on the plurality of layers.
Method and apparatus for providing information needed for diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of thyroid cancer
Provided is a method and apparatus for providing information needed for the diagnosis of lymph node metastasis of a thyroid cancer, and the method includes the steps of: acquiring medical images produced correspondingly to the continuous volumes of a body region including the neck; detecting at least one or more lymph nodes from the medical images through a first network function learned, the lymph nodes including at least one or more lymph nodes having higher lymph node metastasis risks than a given reference value; dividing the neck tissue around the thyroid into a plurality of compartments on the medical images through a second network function learned, based on the anatomical characteristics of the neck tissue; and matching diagnostic information including the information of the detected lymph nodes and the plurality of compartments with the medical images and displaying the diagnostic information on the medical images.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR PROCESSING REAL-TIME VIDEO FROM A MEDICAL IMAGE DEVICE AND DETECTING OBJECTS IN THE VIDEO
The present disclosure relates to systems and methods for processing real-time video and detecting objects in the video. In one implementation, a system is provided that includes an input port for receiving real-time video obtained from a medical image device, a first bus for transferring the received real-time video, and at least one processor configured to receive the real-time video from the first bus, perform object detection by applying a trained neural network on frames of the received real-time video, and overlay a border indicating a location of at least one detected object in the frames. The system also includes a second bus for receiving the video with the overlaid border, an output port for outputting the video with the overlaid border from the second bus to an external display, and a third bus for directly transmitting the received real-time video to the output port.
System and method for predicting the risk of future lung cancer
Risk prediction models are trained and deployed to analyze images, such as computed tomography scans, for predicting future risk of lung cancer for one or more subjects. Individual risk prediction models are separately trained on nodule-specific and non-nodule specific features such that each risk prediction model can predict future risk of lung cancer across different time periods (e.g., 1 year, 3 years, or 5 years). Such risk prediction models are useful for developing preventive therapies for lung cancer by enabling clinical trial enrichment.
