The disclosure herein relates to systems, methods, and devices for medical image analysis, diagnosis, risk stratification, decision making and/or disease tracking. In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods described herein are configured to analyze non-invasive medical images of a subject to automatically and/or dynamically identify one or more features, such as plaque and vessels, and/or derive one or more quantified plaque parameters, such as radiodensity, radiodensity composition, volume, radiodensity heterogeneity, geometry, location, and/or the like. In some embodiments, the systems, devices, and methods described herein are further configured to generate one or more assessments of plaque-based diseases from raw medical images using one or more of the identified features and/or quantified parameters.

A surgical guidance system has two cameras to provide stereo image stream of a surgical field; and a stereo viewer. The system has a 3D surface extraction module that generates a first 3D model of the surgical field from the stereo image streams; a registration module for co-registering annotating data with the first 3D model; and a stereo image enhancer for graphically overlaying at least part of the annotating data onto the stereo image stream to form an enhanced stereo image stream for display, where the enhanced stereo stream enhances a surgeon's perception of the surgical field. The registration module has an alignment refiner to adjust registration of the annotating data with the 3D model based upon matching of features within the 3D model and features within the annotating data; and in an embodiment, a deformation modeler to deform the annotating data based upon a determined tissue deformation.

Systems and methods for determining a concordance between results of medical assessments are provided. Results of a medical assessment of a first type for an anatomical object of a patient and results of a medical assessment of a second type for the anatomical object are received. The results of the medical assessment of the first type are converted to a hemodynamic measure. A concordance analysis between the results of the medical assessment of the first type and the results of the medical assessment of the second type based on the hemodynamic measure is performed. Results of the concordance analysis are output.

Provided herein are methods and systems for making patient-specific therapy recommendations of a combination of any two or more therapies selected from a lipid-lowering therapy, an anti-inflammatory therapy for patients with known or suspected cardiovascular disease, such as atherosclerosis.

Disclosed herein is a medical instrument (100, 300). Execution of the machine executable instructions causes a processor (106) to: receive (206) a set of joint location coordinates (128) for a subject (118) reposing on a subject support (120), receive (207) a body orientation (132) in response to inputting the set of joint location coordinates into a predetermined logic module (130), calculate (208) a torso aspect ratio (134) from set of joint location coordinates. If (210) the torso aspect ratio is greater than a predetermined threshold (136) then (212) the body pose of the subject is a decubitus pose. Execution of the machine executable instructions further cause the processor to assign (220) the body pose as being a supine pose if the subject is face up on the subject support or assign (222) the body pose as being a prone pose if the subject is face down on the subject support if the torso aspect ratio is less than or equal to the predetermined threshold. Execution of the machine executable instructions further cause the processor to generate (216) a subject pose label (142).

A framework for multi-scan image processing. A single real anatomic image of a region of interest is first acquired. One or more emission images of the region of interest are also acquired. One or more synthetic anatomic images may be generated based on the one or more emission images. One or more deformable registrations of the real anatomic image to the one or more synthetic anatomic images are performed to generate one or more registered anatomic images. Attenuation correction may then be performed on the one or more emission images using the one or more registered anatomic images to generate one or more attenuation corrected emission images.

The present disclosure relates to a method of determining a prognostic outlook for patients having metastatic breast cancer. The method includes receiving imaging data from an image of a patient that is receiving or that is to receive cycline dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK 4/6) inhibitor therapy for hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer. Radiomic heterogeneity features are extracted from imaging data associated with a metastasis within the imaging. A prognostic marker is determined from the radiomic heterogeneity features. The prognostic marker is indicative of a response of the patient to CDK 4/6 inhibitor therapy for HR+ metastatic breast cancer.

The present disclosure relates to a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed, cause a processor to perform operations, including generating an imaging data set having both scan data and digitized biopsy data from a patient with small cell lung cancer (SCLC). Scan derived features are extracted from the scan data and biopsy derived features are extracted from the digitized biopsy data. A radiomic-pathomic risk score (RPRS) is calculated from one or more of the scan derived features and one or more of the biopsy derived features. The RPRS is indicative of a prognosis of the patient.

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.

Embodiments of the disclosure provide methods and systems for representation learning from a biomedical image with a sparse convolution. The exemplary system may include a communication interface configured to receive the biomedical image acquired by an image acquisition device. The system may further include at least one processor, configured to extract a structure of interest from the biomedical image. The at least one processor is also configured to generate sparse data representing the structure of interest and input features corresponding to the sparse data. The at least one processor is further configured to apply a sparse-convolution-based model to the biomedical image, the sparse data, and the input features to generate a biomedical processing result for the biomedical image. The sparse-convolution-based model performs one or more neural network operations including the sparse convolution on the sparse data and the input features.
