  • Patent number: 12762671
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for processing electronic medical images, the method including receiving a plurality of electronic medical images of a medical specimen. Each of the plurality of electronic medical images may be divided into a plurality of tiles. A plurality of sets of matching tiles may be determined, the tiles within each set corresponding to a given region of a plurality of regions of the medical specimen. For each tile of the plurality of sets of matching tiles, a blur score may be determined corresponding to a level of image blur of the tile. For each set of matching tiles, a tile may be determined with the blur score indicating the lowest level of blur. A composite electronic medical image, comprising a plurality of tiles from each set of matching tiles with the blur score indicating the lowest level of blur, may be determined and provided for display.

  • Publication number: 20260301178
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for identifying tissue specimen types present in digital whole slide images. In some aspects, tissue specimen types may be identified using unsupervised machine learning techniques for out-of-distribution detection. For example, a digital whole slide image of a tissue specimen and a recorded tissue specimen type for the digital whole slide image may be received. One or more feature vectors may be extracted from one or more foreground tiles of the digital whole slide image identified as including the tissue specimen, and a distribution learned by a machine learning system for the recorded tissue specimen type may be received. Using the distribution, a probability of the feature vectors corresponding to the recorded tissue specimen type may be computed and used as a basis for classifying the foreground tiles from which the feature vectors are extracted as an in-distribution foreground tile or an out-of-distribution foreground tile.
