  • Patent number: 11620746
    Abstract: Embodiments herein disclose computer-implemented methods, computer program products and computer systems for annotating magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. The method may include receiving mammogram (MG) image data representing annotated MG images of a patient breast, the annotated MG images being one of either a craniocaudal view or of a mediolateral oblique view. The method may include identifying annotations representing an abnormality at a first location in the annotated MG images; receiving MRI image data representing MRI images of the patient breast; generating annotated MRI image data using the MRI image data and the annotations identified in the annotated MG images, the annotated MRI image data including MRI annotations at a second location based at least in part on the first location, the MRI annotations in the annotated MRI image data representing the abnormality; and storing the annotated MRI image data in a database.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 10, 2020
    Date of Patent: April 4, 2023
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Simona Rabinovici-Cohen, Shaked Perek, Tal Tlusty Shapiro, Dana Levanony, Efrat Hexter, Ami Abutbul
  • Patent number: 11580337
    Abstract: An approach for improving determining a significant slice associated with a tumor from a volume of medical images is disclosed. The approach is based on the annotation of tumor range and the slice index in which the tumor appears to have the largest area. The approach infer a tumor growth classifier on sliding window of the volume slices and creates a discrete integral function out of the classifier predictions. The approach applies post processing on the discrete integral function which can include a smoothing function and a bias correction. The approach selects the slice index of maximum value from the post processing step.
