  • Patent number: 12053317
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described for use with an imaging device (12) configured to acquire a set of angiographic images of a lumen. At least one processor (10) includes blood-velocity-determination functionality (16) that determines blood velocity within the lumen, via image processing. Current-flow-related-parameter-determination functionality (18) determines a value of a flow-related parameter at the location based upon the determined blood velocity. Flow-related-parameter-receiving functionality (19) receives an indication of a value of a second flow-related parameter of the subject, and index-determination functionality (21) determines a value of a luminal-flow-related index of the subject at the location, by determining a relationship between the value of the current flow-related parameter and the value of the second flow-related parameter. Other applications are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240164656
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including a processor (20) configured to receive first and second sets of extraluminal images of a lumen, the second set being acquired while an endoluminal device is being moved through the lumen. The processor designates at least one of the first set of images as a roadmap image, and designates, within the lumen in the roadmap image, a roadmap pathway (42). A plurality of features (44, 46, 48, 50) that are visible within at least some of the second set of extraluminal images are identified, and an arrangement of three or more of the features within the image are compared to a shape of at least a portion of the roadmap pathway. Based upon the comparing, the identified features are mapped to locations along the roadmap pathway within the roadmap image. Other applications are also described.

  • Publication number: 20240086460
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a method includes indexing a whole slide image dataset to generate one or more dataset embeddings corresponding to one or more respective regions of one or more whole slide images. Each dataset embedding includes a feature vector mapping the respective region to a feature embedding space. The method includes accessing a query image and generating an embedding for the query image that includes a feature vector mapping the query image to the feature embedding space. The method includes identifying result tiles by comparing the embedding for the query image to one or more of the dataset embeddings. The comparison is based on one or more distances between the embedding for the query image and the one or more of the dataset embeddings in the feature embedding space.

  • Publication number: 20240079138
    Abstract: Systems and methods relate to predicting disease progression by processing digital pathology images using neural networks. A digital pathology image that depicts a specimen stained with one or more stains is accessed. The specimen may have been collected from a subject. A set of patches are defined for the digital pathology image. Each patch of the set of patches depicts a portion of the digital pathology image. For each patch of the set of patches and using an attention-score neural network, an attention score is generated. The attention-score neural network may have been trained using a loss function that penalized attention-score variability across patches in training digital pathology images labeled to indicate no or low subsequent disease progression. Using a result-prediction neural network and the attention scores, a result is generated that represents a prediction of whether or an extent to which a disease of the subject will progress.

  • Patent number: 11676272
    Abstract: Apparatus and methods are described including, using a computer processor, automatically identifying whether a given pixel within an image corresponds to a portion of an object. A set of concentric circles that are disposed around the pixel are sampled, and a first function is applied to each of the circles such that the circles are defined by a first set of rotationally invariant descriptors. A second function is applied to the set of circles to generate a second set of descriptors, each of which represents a difference between respective pairs of the circles. A third function is applied such that the second set of descriptors becomes rotationally invariant. The processor identifies whether the given pixel corresponds to the portion of the object, based upon the first and second sets of rotationally invariant descriptors. Other applications are also described.
