  • Publication number: 20230012002
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating synthetic medical images, including images presenting rare conditions or morphologies for which sufficient data may be unavailable. In one aspect, style transfer methods may be used. For example, a target medical image, a segmentation mask identifying style(s) to be transferred to area(s) of the target, and source medical image(s) including the style(s) may be received. Using the mask, the target may be divided into tile(s) corresponding to the area(s) and input to a trained machine learning system. For each tile, gradients associated with a content and style of the tile may be output by the system. Pixel(s) of at least one tile of the target may be altered based on the gradients to maintain content of the target while transferring the style(s) of the source(s) to the target. The synthetic medical image may be generated from the target based on the altering.

  • Publication number: 20230010654
    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.

  • Patent number: 11545253
    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.

  • Publication number: 20220366619
    Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for adjusting attributes of whole slide images, including stains therein. A portion of a whole slide image comprised of a plurality of pixels in a first color space and including one or more stains may be received as input. Based on an identified stain type of the stain(s), a machine-learned transformation associated with the stain type may be retrieved and applied to convert an identified subset of the pixels from the first to a second color space specific to the identified stain type. One or more attributes of the stain(s) may be adjusted in the second color space to generate a stain-adjusted subset of pixels, which are then converted back to the first color space using an inverse of the machine-learned transformation. A stain-adjusted portion of the whole slide image including at least the stain-adjusted subset of pixels may be provided as output.
