  • Publication number: 20230360721
    Abstract: A dosage of an active ingredient in a treatment that is being provided to or that is being considered for provision to a subject is identified. A level of local amyloid beta is predicted based on the dosage of the active ingredient. A severity of amyloid-related imaging abnormalities (ARIA) manifested as hyperintensities on T2-weighted fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) images (ARIA-E) is predicted based on the predicted removal of local amyloid beta, where predicting severity of ARIA-E includes predicting an extent of vascular wall disturbance. A result corresponding to the predicted ARIA-E severity is output.

  • Publication number: 20230309834
    Abstract: Multi-spectral imaging systems include an excitation light source that produces an excitation beam having an excitation light spectrum. A programmable light source sequentially selects three or more excitation wavelength ranges from a plurality of excitation wavelength ranges based on code words defined by a selected code. Based on the code words, a sequence of encoded excitation beams is produced which are sequentially directed to a sample location. An imaging system such as a hyperspectral camera is situated to produce spectral images of a sample associated with a plurality of emission wavelength ranges in response to each of the encoded excitation beams. The spectral images are decoded to produce a spectral emission image corresponding to emitted intensity at the plurality of emission wavelengths as a function of excitation wavelength.
