  • Patent number: 11901076
    Abstract: During operation, a computer system may apply a pretrained predictive model to information for at least a subset of a plurality of individuals, and may determine levels of uncertainty in results of the pretrained predictive model for at least the subset of the plurality of individuals. Then, the computer system may dynamically adapt a at least one threshold range based at least in part on the determined levels of uncertainty and a predefined target performance of the pretrained predictive model for the plurality of individuals. Next, the computer system may perform different remedial actions for a first group of individuals in the plurality of individuals having the results where the levels of uncertainty are within the at least one threshold range and a second group of individuals in the plurality of individuals having the results where the levels of uncertainty are outside of the at least one threshold range.

  • Publication number: 20230240619
    Abstract: A piece of medical information, e.g., a medical image of tissue, may be received for processing and analysis on a computing device or system. A region of the medical image may be analyzed to determine a presence of one or more contours in the region. One or more properties of the one or more contours may be extracted, where the one or more properties are inputted into a first algorithm to determine an indication of cancer for the region. The indication of cancer may be inputted into a second algorithm to generate a cancer score for the region.

  • Patent number: 10973469
    Abstract: A method includes receiving an image from a mammogram, removing noise from the image, computing a point of interest on the de-noised image, creating a mesoscale region of interest on the de-noised image, computing a connectivity for the mesoscale region of interest, identifying a connected component using the computed connectivity, where the connected component represents a branch of a global curvilinear structure, selecting a set of branches based on a physical property for each branch of the global curvilinear structure, pruning each branch based on an error-tolerant, adaptive polynomial fit, identifying remaining regions of interest in each pruned branch, and growing a chain formed by remaining points of interest included in the remaining regions of interest, where the chain represents a macroscopic, global curvilinear calcified arterial structure. The quantitation of the calcified arterial structures may be used as a biomarker for risk stratification of heart disease.
