  • Publication number: 20220051801
    Abstract: A method for classifying neurological disease status is described. The method includes acquiring, by a data preprocessor logic, patient image data. The method further includes generating, by a trained artificial neural network (ANN), a classification output based, at least in part, on the patient image data. The classification output corresponds to a neurological disease status of the patient. The trained ANN is trained based, at least in part, on longitudinal source data.

  • Patent number: 10846858
    Abstract: A technology which enables identifying, via a computer, a vessel in a third image. The third image is obtained from a subtraction of a second image from a first image. The second image and the first image are aligned within an imaging space. The first image is post-contrast. The second image is pre-contrast. The technology enables determining, via the computer, a voxel intensity mean value of a segment of the vessel in the third image. The technology enables obtaining, via the computer, a fourth image from a division of the third image by the voxel intensity mean value. The technology enables applying, via the computer, a filter onto the fourth image. The technology enables generating, via the computer, a filter mask based on the fourth image.

  • Patent number: 9867566
    Abstract: A method comprises selecting, via a computer, an intensity threshold value. The method also comprises defining, via the computer, a plurality of hyperintensities on imaging data based on the intensity threshold value. The method further comprises extracting, via the computer, a plurality of voxels from the imaging data based on the defining. The method additionally comprises determining, via the computer, a total volume of the voxels based on the extracting. The method also comprises determining, via the computer, a regional distribution of WMH based on an anatomical atlas and the total volume.
