Patent number: 12064272Abstract: This disclosure relates to detecting prostate cancer. A processor receives image data indicative of a computed tomography scan comprising a spatial sequence of two-dimensional cross-sectional images. The processor then applies a neural network to the image data by calculating three-dimensional convolutions in one or more convolutional layers of the neural network and evaluating an output layer. A first dimension of the convolutions is defined in space along the spatial sequence of the two-dimensional cross-sectional images. The three-dimensional convolutions comprise convolutions along the first dimension. The output layer is connected to the one or more convolutional layers in the neural network, and has an output value that is indicative of a probability of detecting prostate cancer in the computed tomography scan. Three-dimensional convolutions in the neural network provide a more accurate probability of detecting prostate cancer.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2023Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Assignee: Next Generation AI Pty LtdInventors: Mark Page, Peter Brotchie

Patent number: 12064297Abstract: Medical software tools platforms utilize a surgical display to provide access to specific medical software tools, such as medically-oriented applications or widgets, that can assist surgeons or surgical team in performing various procedures. In particular, an endoscopic camera may register the momentary rise in the optical signature reflected from a tissue surface and in turn transmit it to a medical image processing system which can also receive patient heart rate data and display relevant anomalies. Changes in various spectral components and the speed at which they change in relation to a source of stimulus (heartbeat, breathing, light source modulation, etc.) may indicate the arrival of blood, contrast agents or oxygen absorption. Combinations of these may indicate various states of differing disease or margins of tumors, and so forth. Also, changes in temperatures, physical dimensions, pressures, photoacoustic pressures and the rate of change may indicate tissue anomalies in comparison to historic values.Type: GrantFiled: March 6, 2023Date of Patent: August 20, 2024Inventor: Jack Wade

Patent number: 12059285Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods for reducing beam-hardening artifacts in CT imaging using a mapping operator that comprises a hybrid spectral model that incorporates air scan X-ray intensity data acquired at two different effective mean energies. In one variation, the air scan X-ray intensity data acquired during a calibration session is combined with an ideal spectral model for each X-ray detector to derive the hybrid spectral mode. A mapping operator based on the hybrid spectral model is used to correct beam-hardening artifacts in the acquired CT projection data. In some variations, the mapping operator is a lookup table of monochromatic (corrected) projection values, and the acquired CT projection data is used to calculate the index of the lookup table entry that contains the corrected projection value that corresponds with the acquired CT projection data.Type: GrantFiled: April 1, 2021Date of Patent: August 13, 2024Assignee: RefleXion Medical, Inc.Inventors: Hewei Gao, Zhihui Sun
