  • DETERMINING RISK OF CANCER RECURRENCE
    Publication number: 20230026291
    Abstract: A method of determining risk of breast cancer recurrence in a patient has the steps: obtaining (304) hyperspectral imaging training data and known recurrence outcomes for the hyperspectral imaging training data; training (306) one or more neural networks using the hyperspectral imaging training data and corresponding known recurrence outcomes; obtaining (308) hyperspectral imaging patient data; and applying (310) the one or more neural networks to the hyperspectral imaging patient data so as to determine risk of cancer recurrence in the patient.

  • Imaging of Biological Tissue
    Publication number: 20220091022
    Abstract: We describe a method and a system for analysing a sample (12) using spectral polarimetry. The system comprises a light source, a first polarizer (22) having a first polarization angle for polarizing light from the light source, a second polarizer having a second polarization angle which is different to the first polarization angle, a birefringent component (20) which comprises a birefringent material, and a detector for receiving polarized light from the second polarizer (16). The birefringent component is positioned between the first and second polarizers and the sample is placed between the first polarizer and the second polarizer.

  • Prediction of therapeutic response using vibrational spectroscopy
    Patent number: 10725017
    Abstract: The invention relates to a prognostic method of analyzing a biological sample from a cancer patient to predict his/her response to a specified modality of cancer treatment comprising the steps of: (a) performing spectroscopy on the biological sample to obtain a spectrum; (b) comparing the obtained spectrum with one or more spectra to calculate a probability of a response to the specified modality of cancer treatment by the cancer patient.
