  • Publication number: 20230419694
    Abstract: A machine learning predictor model is trained to generate a prediction of the appearance of a tissue sample stained with a special stain such as an IHC stain from an input image that is either unstained or stained with H&E. Training data takes the form of thousands of pairs of precisely aligned images, one of which is an image of a tissue specimen stained with H&E or unstained, and the other of which is an image of the tissue specimen stained with the special stain. The model can be trained to predict special stain images for a multitude of different tissue types and special stain types, in use, an input image, e.g., an H&E image of a given tissue specimen at a particular magnification level is provided to the model and the model generates a prediction of the appearance of the tissue specimen as if it were stained with the special stain. The predicted image is provided to a user and displayed, e.g., on a pathology workstation.

  • Patent number: 11850118
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for detecting a presence of a biological substance through an article such as a diaper. For example, a detection system causes a light source to transmit light through the article. The light includes a peak wavelength that corresponds to an excitation wavelength of a biological substance that may be present in the article. The detection system detects a measurement of light intensity within a range of emission wavelengths of the biological substance. By comparing the measurement of light intensity to a threshold, the detection system identifies a presence of the biological substance on the article.
