Publication number: 20240016387Abstract: Embodiments related to methods of use of an image analysis system for identifying residual cancer cells after surgery are disclosed. In some embodiments, the image analysis system collects a surgical site image and indicates on a display one or more locations of the identified cancer cells. In some embodiments, the method for identifying residual cancer cells comprises determining and selecting a portion of the surgical site image responsive to an intensity parameter; modifying the selected portion of the surgical site image to determine one or more groups of residual cancer cells based on size; and identifying at least one of the one or more groups of residual cancer cells from the modified portion of the surgical site image using a local-based threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 27, 2023Publication date: January 18, 2024Applicant: Lumicell, Inc.Inventors: David B. Strasfeld, W. David Lee, Jorge Ferrer

Publication number: 20230397970Abstract: Embodiments related to methods of use of an image analysis system for identifying residual cancer cells after surgery are disclosed. In some embodiments, a patient-specific threshold used to detect abnormal cells in a surgical site can be determined. A medical imaging device can be configured to produce a set of images of an anatomy of a patient. An image analysis system, comprising one or more processors, can be configured to receive the set of images, and analyze the set of images to determine a patient-specific threshold to use to detect abnormal tissue of the patient.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 7, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Lumicell, Inc.Inventors: David B. Strasfeld, Jorge Ferrer, W. David Lee
