Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for detecting an anomaly within a biological tissue. A first image of the biological tissue is obtained, the first image containing light at a first wavelength. A second image of the biological tissue is obtained, the second image containing light at a second wavelength. A texture analysis of the biological tissue is performed using spatial information of the first and second images. The texture analysis is resolved over the first and second wavelengths.

Abstract: Subjects who are potentially impacted by a medical condition are identified. An experimental group includes subjects having a positive indication for a specific criterion related to the medical condition in their medical profiles. A control groups includes subjects having a negative indication for the specific criterion. An artificial intelligence system is trained using the specific criterion and secondary characteristics of the subjects of the experimental and control groups to construct a classifier for the medical condition. The classifier is used to extract a target group of subjects from a population of subjects. A medical profile of each subject of the target group is marked as potentially affected by the medical condition. A system includes the artificial intelligence system and a database for storing the medical profiles. Deep learning or machine learning may be used to analyze medical images such as retinal images.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and a system for imaging a biological tissue. A monochromatic image of the biological tissue is obtained. A texture analysis of the biological tissue is performed using spatial information of the monochromatic image to identity features of the biological tissue. A texture image is generated based on the features of the biological tissue. The biological tissue of the subject is classified as normal or abnormal at least in part based on a comparison between first order statistics of the texture image and predetermined values.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a tool manipulator, comprising a base, mountable on an operation table. A caliper is supported by the base and a tool holder is mounted on the caliper. An actuator positionable below a patient supporting surface of the operation table receives positioning commands for moving a tool in at least three degrees of freedom. The tool manipulator can be made part of a system for positioning a needle for diagnosis or treatment of the prostate of a patient. The system also comprises a power source connected to the actuator and a controller controlling the provision of the positioning commands to the actuator.
