Patent number: 12694972Abstract: A method includes accessing a digital pathology image that depicts tumor cells sampled from a subject. A plurality of patches may be selected from the digital pathology image, wherein each of the patches depicts tumor cells. A mutation prediction may be generated for each of the patches, wherein the mutation prediction represents a prediction of a likelihood that an actionable mutation appears in the patch. Based on the plurality of mutation predictions, a prognostic prediction related to one or more treatment regimens for the subject may be generated. The prognostic prediction may be based on determining one or more mutational contexts of the digital pathology image as an unknown driver or a tumor suppressor, an oncogene driver mutation, or a gene fusion.Type: GrantFiled: November 10, 2023Date of Patent: July 28, 2026Assignees: Genentech, Inc., Hoffmann-La Roche Inc., Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Paolo Santiago Syjuco Ocampo, Bernhard Stimpel, Yao Nie, Fahime Sheikhzadeh, Xiao Li, Przemyslaw Szostak, Prasanna Porwal, Faranak Aghaei

Patent number: 12645996Abstract: A machine learning model is accessed that is configured to use one or more parameters to process images to generate labels. The machine learning model is executed to transform at least part of each of at least one digital pathology image into a plurality of predicted labels; and generate a confidence metric for each of the plurality of predicted labels. An interface is availed that depicts the at least part of the at least one digital pathology image and that differentially represents predicted labels based on corresponding confidence metrics. In response to availing of the interface, label input is received that confirms, rejects, or replaces at least one of the plurality of predicted labels. The one or more parameters of the machine learning model are updated based on the label input.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2023Date of Patent: June 2, 2026Assignee: VENTANA MEDICAL SYSTEMS, INC.Inventors: Hadley Fellows, Mehrnoush Khojasteh, Justine Larsen, Jim F. Martin, Nidhin Murari, Fahime Sheikhzadeh

Publication number: 20250385005Abstract: A method for using a federated learning classifier in digital pathology includes distributing, by a centralized server, a global model to a plurality of client devices. The client devices further train the global model using a plurality images of a specimen and corresponding annotations to generate at least one further trained model. The client devices provide further trained models to the centralized server, which aggregates the further trained models with the global model to generate an updated global model. The updated global model is then distributed to the plurality of client devices.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 29, 2025Publication date: December 18, 2025Applicant: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Faranak AGHAEI, Nidhin MURARI, Jim F. MARTIN, Joachim SCHMID, Fahime SHEIKHZADEH, Anirudh SOM

Patent number: 12400461Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein generally relate to identifying necrotic tissue in a multiplex immunofluorescence image of a slice of specimen. Particularly, aspects of the present disclosure are directed to accessing a multiplex immunofluorescence image of a slice of specimen comprising a first channel for a nuclei marker and a second channel for an epithelial tumor marker, wherein the slice of specimen comprises one or more necrotic tissue regions; providing the multiplex immunofluorescence image to a machine-learning model; receiving an output of the machine-learning model corresponding to a prediction that the multiplex immunofluorescence image includes one or more necrotic tissue regions at one or more particular portions of the multiplex immunofluorescence image; generating a mask for subsequent image processing of the multiplex immunofluorescence image based on the output of the machine-learning model; and outputting the mask for the subsequent image processing.Type: GrantFiled: August 11, 2021Date of Patent: August 26, 2025Assignee: Ventana Medical Systems, Inc.Inventors: Jessica Baumann, Mehrnoush Khojasteh, Fahime Sheikhzadeh, Anirudh Som, Aicha Beya Ben Taieb
