Systems and methods for deep-learning-based segmentation of composite images

Presented herein are systems and methods that provide for improved 3D segmentation of nuclear medicine images using an artificial intelligence-based deep learning approach. For example, in certain embodiments, the machine learning module receives both an anatomical image (e.g., a CT image) and a functional image (e.g., a PET or SPECT image) as input, and generates, as output, a segmentation mask that identifies one or more particular target tissue regions of interest. The two images are interpreted by the machine learning module as separate channels representative of the same volume. Following segmentation, additional analysis can be performed (e.g., hotspot detection/risk assessment within the identified region of interest).

METHOD OF IMAGE ENHANCEMENT FOR DISTRACTION DEDUCTION

Systems and methods related to combing multiple images are disclosed. An example method of combining multiple images obtained by an endoscope includes obtaining a first input image formed from a first plurality of pixels, wherein a first pixel of the plurality of pixels includes a first characteristic having a first value. The method also includes obtaining a second input image formed from a second plurality of pixels, wherein a second pixel of the second plurality of pixels includes a second characteristic having a second value. The method also includes subtracting the first value from the second value to generate a motion metric and generating a weighted metric map of the second input image using the motion metric.
