  • Device and method for detecting clinically important objects in medical images with distance-based decision stratification
    Patent number: 11701066
    Abstract: A method for performing a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) includes: acquiring a medical image set; generating a three-dimensional (3D) tumor distance map corresponding to the medical image set, each voxel of the tumor distance map representing a distance from the voxel to a nearest boundary of a primary tumor present in the medical image set; and performing neural-network processing of the medical image set to generate a predicted probability map to predict presence and locations of oncology significant lymph nodes (OSLNs) in the medical image set, wherein voxels in the medical image set are stratified and processed according to the tumor distance map.
    Type: Grant
