  • Patent number: 11348237
    Abstract: Dental images are processed according to a first machine learning model to determine teeth labels. The teeth labels and image are concatenated and processed using a second machine learning model to label anatomy including CEJ, JE, GM, and Bone. The anatomy labels, teeth labels, and image are concatenated and processed using a third machine learning model to obtain feature measurements, such as pocket depth and clinical attachment level. The feature measurements, anatomy labels, teeth labels, and image may be concatenated and input to a fourth machine learning model to obtain a diagnosis for a periodontal condition. Feature measurements and/or the diagnosis may be processed according to a diagnosis hierarchy to determine whether a treatment is appropriate. Machine learning models may further be used to reorient, decontaminate, and restore the image prior to processing. Machine learning models may be embodied as CNN, GAN, and cyclic GAN.

  • Patent number: 11308610
    Abstract: A system for generating a bullseye plot of a heart of a subject is provided. The system may obtain multiple slice images in a plurality of groups, wherein each group corresponds to one of a plurality of sections of the heart and includes at least one slice image of the corresponding section, and each slice image includes part of the right ventricle, part of the left ventricle, and part of the myocardium. The system may also identify at least one landmark associated with the left ventricle by applying a landmark detection network in each of the slice images. The system may further generate the bullseye plot of the heart based on the at least one landmark identified in each of the multiple slice images, wherein the bullseye plot includes a plurality of sectors, each of which represents an anatomical region of the myocardium in one of the plurality of sections.

  • Patent number: 11282203
    Abstract: Method and system for image registration or image segmentation. The method includes receiving an image which is to be processed by a first machine-learning model to perform, for example, image registration or segmentation, and using a second machine-learning model to determine if the received image is of a quality suitable for the first machine-learning model to act upon.

  • Patent number: 11129591
    Abstract: A computer-implemented system for facilitating echocardiographic image analysis is disclosed. The system includes at least one processor configured to receive signals representing a first at least one echocardiographic image, associate the image with a first view category of a plurality of predetermined view categories, determine, based on the first at least one echocardiographic image and the first view category, a first quality assessment value representing a view category specific quality assessment of the first at least one echocardiographic image, and produce signals representing the first quality assessment value for causing the first quality assessment value to be associated with the first at least one echocardiographic image. The at least one processor may also be configured to do the above steps for a second at least one echocardiographic and a second view category that is different from the first view category image. Other systems, methods, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
