  • Publication number: 20230200908
    Abstract: An electronic computer system classifies an anatomical target by obtaining a series of input images of the target; detecting a difference in a characteristic of the anatomical target across the series of input images; comparing, using a pattern recognition process, the difference in the characteristic across the series of input images to respective differences in characteristics across respective series of reference images; and classifying the anatomical target based on similarities with reference images analyzed during the comparing.

  • Patent number: 11596672
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method for treating a subject with periorbital puffiness by determining if the periorbital puffiness is due to edema or a structural change and administering a protein having hyaluronidase activity to the periorbital region of the subject if the periorbital puffiness is due to edema.
