A text generation unit (14) generates a plurality of texts which describe properties of feature portions and are different from each other for at least one feature portion included in an image. A display control unit (15) performs control such that each of the plurality of texts is displayed on a display unit.

A medical information display apparatus according to an embodiment includes processing circuitry. The processing circuitry is configured to display information on the basis of volume data including at least a lung. The processing circuitry is configured to display a first index value based on an anatomical structure of the lung and a second index value based on the volume data related to the lung, so as to be kept in correspondence with each other.

One method includes receiving a plurality of images for a plurality of patients, some of the images including an annotation associated with a condition; iteratively applying a first deep learning network to each of the images to produce an attention map, a feature map, and an image-level probability of the condition for each of the images; iteratively applying a second deep learning network to each feature map produced by the first network to produce a plurality of outputs; training the first network based on the attention map produced for each image; and training the second network based on the output produced for each of the patients. The second network includes a plurality of convolution layers and a plurality of convolutional long short-term memory (LSTM) layers. Each of the outputs includes a patient-level probability of the condition for one of the patients.

A system is configured to perform operations includes accessing a set of model points of a model of an anatomic structure of a patient, the model points being associated with a model space. A set of measured points of the anatomic structure of the patient are collected, the measured points being associated with a patient space. The set of model points are registered to the set of measured points using a first set of initial parameters to generate a first transformation. One or more sets of perturbed initial parameters are generated based on the first set of initial parameters. One or more perturbed registration processes are performed to register the set of model points to the set of measured points using the one or more sets of perturbed initial parameters respectively to generate corresponding perturbed transformations. A registration quality indicator is generated based on the first transformation and the one or more perturbed transformations.

The present invention relates to the field of medical monitoring, and in particular non-contact monitoring of one or more physiological parameters in a region of a patient during surgery. Systems, methods, and computer readable media are described for generating a pulsation field and/or a pulsation strength field of a region of interest (ROI) in a patient across a field of view of an image capture device, such as a video camera. The pulsation field and/or the pulsation strength field can be generated from changes in light intensities and/or colors of pixels in a video sequence captured by the image capture device. The pulsation field and/or the pulsation strength field can be combined with indocyanine green (ICG) information regarding ICG dye injected into the patient to identify sites where blood flow has decreased and/or ceased and that are at risk of hypoxia.

An analysis unit (13) specifies properties of a feature portion included in an image for each of a plurality of predetermined property items. A text generation unit (14) generates a plurality of texts such that a combination of the property items is different between the plurality of texts. In a case where any one of the plurality of texts is selected, an association data generation unit (16) generates association data in which a selection item, which is a property item corresponding to the property described in the selected text, and a property specifying result are associated with each other. In a case where the specified property and the property specifying result included in the association data match, the text generation unit (14) generates a priority text describing the property specified for the same property item as the selection item associated with the property specifying result as one of the plurality of texts.

A bronchial stent includes a first branch configured to widen, open, and/or mechanically support a first airway; an obstructive portion that, when the stent is deployed in the first airway, obstructs a second airway, the second airway forming a branching connection with the first airway; and a feature proximal to the obstructive portion, the feature configured to facilitate opening of the obstructive portion.

A candidate generator generates a set of candidate three-dimensional image patches from an input volume. A candidate classifier classifies the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches as containing or not containing disease. Classifying the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches comprises generating an attention mask for each given candidate three-dimensional image patch within the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches to form a set of attention masks, applying the set of attention masks to the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches to form a set of masked image patches, and classifying the set of masked image patches as containing or not containing the disease. The candidate classifier applies soft attention and hard attention to the three-dimensional image patches such that distinctive image regions are highlighted proportionally to their contribution to classification while completely removing image regions that may cause confusion.

A system for patient cardiac imaging and tissue modeling. The system includes a patient imaging device that can acquire patient cardiac imaging data. A processor is configured to receive the cardiac imaging data. A user interface and display allow a user to interact with the cardiac imaging data. The processor includes fat identification software conducting operations to interact with a trained learning network to identify fat tissue in the cardiac imaging data and to map fat tissue onto a three-dimensional model of the heart. A preferred system uses an ultrasound imaging device as the patient imaging device. Another preferred system uses an MRI or CT image device as the patient imaging device.
