  • Patent number: 11636696
    Abstract: The present application relates generally to identifying regions of interest in images, including but not limited to whole slide image region of interest identification, prioritization, de-duplication, and normalization via interpretable rules, nuclear region counting, point set registration, and histogram specification color normalization. This disclosure describes systems and methods for analyzing and extracting regions of interest from images, for example biomedical images depicting a tissue sample from biopsy or ectomy. Techniques directed to quality control estimation, granular classification, and coarse classification of regions of biomedical images are described herein. Using the described techniques, patches of images corresponding to regions of interest can be extracted and analyzed individually or in parallel to determine pixels correspond to features of interest and pixels that do not.

  • Publication number: 20230100881
    Abstract: Described herein are Deep Multi-Magnification Networks (DMMNs). The multi-class tissue segmentation architecture processes a set of patches from multiple magnifications to make more accurate predictions. For the supervised training, partial annotations may be used to reduce the burden of annotators. The segmentation architecture with multi-encoder, multi-decoder, and multi-concatenation outperforms other segmentation architectures on breast datasets, and can be used to facilitate pathologists' assessments of breast cancer in margin specimens.

  • Publication number: 20230082710
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for classifying biomedical images. A feature classifier may generate a plurality of tiles from a biomedical image. Each tile may correspond to a portion of the biomedical image. The feature classifier may select a subset of tiles from the plurality of tiles by applying an inference model. The subset of tiles may have highest scores. Each score may indicate a likelihood that the corresponding tile includes a feature indicative of the presence of the condition. The feature classifier may determine a classification result for the biomedical image by applying an aggregation model. The classification result may indicate whether the biomedical includes the presence or lack of the condition.
