  • Publication number: 20250072854
    Abstract: Method for marking a region of interest in a mammogram, identifying a first posterior nipple line in the first mammogram; identifying a region of interest in the first mammogram; identifying a reference line in the first mammogram, the reference line being perpendicular to the first posterior nipple line and extending from the posterior nipple line through the region of interest; calculating a distance, d, the distance d extending from the first nipple tip to the reference line along the first posterior nipple line; identifying a second posterior nipple line in the second mammogram; and providing, on the second mammogram, a region-of-interest marker, the region-of-interest marker extending perpendicular from the second posterior nipple line the distance d from the second nipple tip along the second posterior nipple line.

  • Publication number: 20240119564
    Abstract: Method for altering pixel brightness values in a digital image includes identifying a measured brightness value of each of the plurality of pixels; determining a location of the plurality of pixels corresponding to an artificial object in the digital image based on the measured brightness value of each of the plurality of pixels; and adjusting the measured brightness value of each of the pixels at the location of the plurality of pixels corresponding to the artificial object in the digital image to a predetermined brightness value. Method for altering pixel tone values in a digital image includes calculating a tone conversion configured to suppress a tone of the artificial object in the digital image; applying the tone conversion to each of the pixels at the location of the plurality of pixels corresponding to the artificial object in the digital image.

  • Patent number: 6457655
    Abstract: A control system for use in a liquid dispensing system to measure and adjust a liquid spray pattern dispensed from the liquid dispensing system. The control system includes a sensor that detect edges of the liquid spray pattern and, from the detected positions of those edges, is operable to adjust the liquid spray pattern to a pattern width set by the operator. The control system is also operable to measure the width of the liquid spray pattern and the offset of the liquid spray pattern relative to a nozzle centerline of the liquid dispensing system and provide warnings to the operator if those measurements fall outside of acceptable ranges.
