Patent number: 12778709Abstract: Embodiments related to methods of use of an image analysis system for identifying residual cancer cells after surgery are disclosed. In some embodiments, a patient-specific threshold used to detect abnormal cells in a surgical site can be determined. A medical imaging device can be configured to produce a set of images of an anatomy of a patient. An image analysis system, comprising one or more processors, can be configured to receive the set of images, and analyze the set of images to determine a patient-specific threshold to use to detect abnormal tissue of the patient.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 2023Date of Patent: November 3, 2026Assignee: Lumicell, Inc.Inventors: David B. Strasfeld, Jorge Ferrer, W. David Lee

Patent number: 12773112Abstract: Embodiments related to methods of use of an image analysis system for identifying residual cancer cells after surgery are disclosed. In some embodiments, the image analysis system collects a surgical site image and indicates on a display one or more locations of the identified cancer cells. In some embodiments, the method for identifying residual cancer cells comprises determining and selecting a portion of the surgical site image responsive to an intensity parameter; modifying the selected portion of the surgical site image to determine one or more groups of residual cancer cells based on size; and identifying at least one of the one or more groups of residual cancer cells from the modified portion of the surgical site image using a local-based threshold.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2023Date of Patent: October 27, 2026Assignee: Lumicell, Inc.Inventors: David B. Strasfeld, W. David Lee, Jorge Ferrer
