System and Method for Remote Measurements of Vital Signs of a Person in a Volatile Environment

A remote photoplethysmography (RPPG) system for estimating vital signs of a person is provided. The RPPG system is configured to receive a set of imaging photoplethysmography (iPPG) signals measured from different regions of a skin of a person. The RPPG system is further configured to determine frequency coefficients at the frequency bins of the quantized frequency spectrum of the measured iPPG signals by minimizing a distance between the measured iPPG signals and corresponding iPPG signals reconstructed from the determined frequency coefficients, while enforcing joint sparsity of the determined frequency coefficients subject to the sparsity level constraint, such that the determined frequency coefficients of different iPPG signals have the non-zero values at the same frequency bins; and output one or a combination of the determined frequency coefficients, the iPPG signals reconstructed from the determined frequency coefficients, and a vital sign signal corresponding to the reconstructed iPPG signals.

SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DIAGNOSING SEVERITY OF GASTRITIS

A diagnostic system, method, and a computer-readable storage medium for determining a severity of a gastric condition, such as gastritis, in a subject are disclosed. The diagnostic system includes a processor that obtains an image of a stomach of the subject collected by an endoscope. The processor can compare the subject image with reference normal and abnormal stomach images. If the subject image is abnormal, the processor can generate a subject abnormality image indicative of the differences between the subject image and the normal image. By comparing the generated subject abnormality image with reference abnormality images representative of different severity levels of gastritis, the processor can diagnose the subject as having a particular severity level of gastritis.

Method and apparatus for predicting brain disease change through machine learning and program for the same

A method for predicting brain disease state change is disclosed. The method includes acquiring test images obtained by capturing a portion of a human brain at a time interval, performing a pre-processing procedure of converting the test images into test voxels configured to be processed for image analysis, wherein a respective test voxel of the test voxels is composed of three-dimensional voxel units, mapping first and second test voxels selected from the test voxels acquired from a patient, with each other on a three-dimensional voxel unit, wherein the first test voxel is acquired at a first time-point and the second test voxel is acquired at a second time-point, generating a voxel-based data-set based on the mapped first and second test voxels, extracting a change in the test voxels using a deep neural network, and generating a state change probability model based on the change in the test voxels.

Assessment of Abnormality Regions Associated with a Disease from Chest CT Images

Systems and methods for assessing a disease are provided. Medical imaging data of lungs of a patient is received. The lungs are segmented from the medical imaging data and abnormality regions associated with a disease are segmented from the medical imaging data. An assessment of the disease is determined based on the segmented lungs and the segmented abnormality regions. The disease may be COVID-19 (coronavirus disease 2019) or diseases, such as, e.g., SARS (severe acute respiratory syndrome), MERS (Middle East respiratory syndrome), or other types of viral and non-viral pneumonia.

20210295521 · 2021-09-23 ·

A system and a method for measuring a maturation stage of a biological organ are based on quantitative MR maps for the organ. The method includes acquiring with a first interface and for a subject, a quantitative MR map for the organ. The quantitative MR map includes voxels each characterized by a quantitative value. The quantitative value of each voxel represents a measurement of a physical or physiological property of a tissue of the biological organ for the voxel. The method also includes applying to the quantitative map a trained function to estimate the subject organ maturation stage, and the trained function outputting an age. The method provides with a second interface the maturation stage of the organ of the subject as being the output age.
