  • Patent number: 12148150
    Abstract: A method for determining a disease state prediction, relating to a potential disease or medical condition of a subject, includes accessing a set of subject images, the subject images capturing a part of a subject's body, and accessing a set of clinical factors from the subject. The clinical factors are collected by a device or a medical practitioner substantially contemporaneously with the capture of the subject images. The subject images are inputted into an image data model to generate disease metrics for disease prediction for the subject. The disease metrics generated by the image data model and the clinical factors are inputted into a classifier to determine the disease state prediction, and the disease state prediction is returned.

  • Patent number: 12033327
    Abstract: Described herein are systems, methods, and instrumentalities associated with processing medical chest images such as chest X-ray (CXR) images. Segmentation models derived via a deep learning process are used to segment the chest images and obtain a rib segmentation result and a lung segmentation result for each image. The rib segmentation result may include a rib sequence identified in the image while the lung segmentation result may include one or more lung fields identified in the image. The quality of each chest image (e.g., whether the image reflects a breath-holding state of the patient) may then be determined based on whether a sufficient number of ribs in the rib segmentation result overlap with the lung fields in the lung segmentation result. The segmentation results may be obtained in a coarse-to-fine manner, e.g., by first determining a large rib area and then further segmenting the large rib area to identify each individual rib.
