Abstract: A method and system for evaluating geographic atrophy in a retina. A set of fundus autofluorescence (FAF) images of the retina is received. An input is generated for a machine learning system using the set of fundus autofluorescence images. A lesion area is predicted, via the machine learning system, for the geographic atrophy lesion in the retina using the set of fundus autofluorescence images. A lesion growth rate is predicted, via the machine learning system, for the geographic atrophy lesion in the retina using the input.

Abstract: Systems and methods relate to processing digital-pathology images. More specifically, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to accessing a whole-slide image depicting a slice of specimen, defining a set of tiles within at least part of the whole-slide image, generating one or more artifact prediction metrics by applying artifact detection to each tile of the set of tiles, wherein each of the one or more artifact prediction metrics corresponds to a predicted level of image quality of part or all of the whole-slide image, generating a quality heat map image corresponding to the whole-slide image, wherein the quality heat map image is based on the one or more artifact prediction metrics, and outputting the quality heat map image.
Abstract: In an embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a handheld vision tester for vision self-testing by a user. The handheld vision tester comprises a touchscreen display, a control, and an interface port. The touchscreen display is configured to present different shapes, either statically or dynamically, to the user for the vision self-testing. One of the different shapes may be a modulated version of another similar shape displayed at the same time and includes a modulated edge. The control is configured to allow a user to trigger operations of the tester and allow the user to select one of the different shapes. The handheld vision tester is configured to determine results of the vision self-testing from the user selections and store the results in the handheld vision tester. The interface port is configured to transmit the stored results to a healthcare provider who uses the results to enhance treatment routines.
Abstract: Methods and systems disclosed herein relate generally to processing images to estimate whether at least part of a tumor is represented in the images. A computer-implemented method includes accessing an image of at least part of a biological structure of a particular subject, processing the image using a segmentation algorithm to extract a plurality of image objects depicted in the image, determining one or more structural characteristics associated with an image object of the plurality of image objects, processing the one or more structural characteristics using a trained machine-learning model to generate estimation data corresponding to an estimation of whether the image object corresponds to a lesion or tumor associated with the biological structure, and outputting the estimation data for the particular subject.
