Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method for training a machine-trained (MT) network to classify inputs into multiple categories. The method propagates a set of input training items through the MT network to generate a set of corresponding outputs. Each input training item belongs to a category and the output for each input training item includes, for each category, a computed probability of the input belonging to the category. The method computes a value for a loss function based on the generated outputs. The loss function includes a first term based on the computed probabilities of each input belonging to its category and not based on individual computed probabilities of the inputs belonging to other categories and a second term based on the individual computed probabilities of each input belonging to each of the categories. The method uses the computed value for the loss function to train the MT network.

Abstract: A three-dimensional image transformation, executing on one or more computer systems, can mathematically transform a first two-dimensional image space onto a second two-dimensional image space using a three-dimensional image space. The three-dimensional image transformation can project the three-dimensional image space onto the first two-dimensional image space to map the first two-dimensional image space to the three-dimensional image space. Thereafter, the three-dimensional image transformation can project the second two-dimensional image space onto the three-dimensional image space to map the three-dimensional image space to the second two-dimensional image space.

Abstract: A system receives a first set of points corresponding to an anatomical feature. Each point in the first set of points represents a position in a first frame. The system receives a second set of points corresponding to the anatomical feature. Each point in the second set of points represents a position in a second frame. The system identifies a first subset of the first set of points and determines a first transformation to align the first subset of the first set of points with the second set of points. The first set of points is transformed based on the first transformation. The system identifies a second subset of the first set of points and determines a second transformation to align the first and second subsets of the first set of points with the second set of points. The first set of points are transformed based on the second transformation.

Abstract: A method automatically detects digital assets embedded into video frames or images. Each digital asset includes a plurality of embedded graphical representation elements with each element embedding an individual character of the digital asset's unique identification code. The video frames or images are automatically scanned for the presence of embedded graphical representation elements with each detected element decoded to extract its individual character. The resultant extracted characters are then statistically analyzed in an attempt to reconstruct the digital asset's unique identification code.

Abstract: For supporting reading for radiologists, artificial intelligence (AI) identifies normal anatomy or parts of the patient represented in a medical image. Those parts are then altered, such as redacted, to indicate that no review of that part is needed. The reading presents medical images for review with one or more parts identified as not needing review (e.g., by being missing through redaction).
