  • System and Method for Determining a Device Safe Zone
    Publication number: 20240078781
    Abstract: A method for determining a region for safe placement of a device in a medical image includes receiving a medical image, detecting at least one anatomic landmark in the medical image using at least one deep convolutional neural network, determining the region for safe placement of the device based on the detected at least one anatomic region using a semantic network, and displaying the region for safe placement of a device on the medical image using a display.

  • Method for positron emission tomography (PET) imaging analysis for classifying and diagnosing of neurological diseases
    Patent number: 10357217
    Abstract: A method of using PET imaging includes using PET images obtained using a radiotracer for the determination of the progressive course of regional brain PET activities for a progressive neurodegenerative disease (e.g., MCI, AD, and CTE). The method may be used for the automatic staging of neurodegenerative disease for a particular patient/subject based on regional intensity and spatial patterns of the brain signals measured by PET imaging. The method may also be used to diagnose or classify the disease of a patient among multiple possibilities based on PET imaging profiles (e.g., for separating or distinguishing CTE from AD).
