Computer apparatus and methods for generating color composite images from multi-echo chemical shift-encoded MRI
11580626 · 2023-02-14 ·

A computer apparatus and methods generate multi-parametric color composite images from multi-echo chemical shift encoded (CSE) MRI. Some embodiments use inherently co-registered images (i.e., image maps) that are combined into a single intuitive composite color image. The color (e.g., brightness, hue, and/or saturation) reflects in part the water and fat content, and other properties, particularly T2* relaxation (related to magnetic susceptibility) of the tissue.

Predictive use of quantitative imaging

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for predicting a disease state of a subject using ultrasound imaging and ancillary information to the ultrasound imaging. At least two quantitative measurements of a subject, including at least one measurement taken using ultrasound imaging, as part of quantified information can be identified. One of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a first predetermined standard, included as part of ancillary information to the quantified information, in order to identify a first initial value. Further, another of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a second predetermined standard, included as part of the ancillary information, in order to identify a second initial value. Subsequently, the quantitative information can be correlated with the ancillary information using the first initial value and the second initial value to determine a final value that is predictive of a disease state of the subject.

Precision treatment platform enabled by whole body digital twin technology

A patient health management platform accesses a metabolic profile for a patient and biosignals recorded for the patient during a current time period comprising sensor data and/or lab test data collected for the patient. The platform receives patient data recorded during the current time period comprising food items consumed, medications taken, and symptoms experienced by the patient. The platform implements a machine-learned metabolic model to determine a metabolic state of the patient at a conclusion of the current time period by comparing a true representation of the metabolic state and a prediction of the metabolic state. The true representation and the prediction are determined based on the recorded biosignals and the recorded patient data, respectively. The platform generates a patient-specific treatment recommendation outlining instructions for the patient to improve their metabolic state and provides the patient-specific treatment recommendation to the patient device for display to the patient.
