Publication number: 20250140219Abstract: The invention includes a method including the steps of obtaining a plurality of images, each of the images in the plurality having at least one corresponding region, generating a merged image, the merged image also having the corresponding region. The step of generating includes selecting an image source from the plurality of images to source image data for the corresponding region in the merged image by comparing attributes of the corresponding regions of the plurality of images to identify the image source having preferred attributes.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 18, 2024Publication date: May 1, 2025Applicant: Hologic, Inc.Inventors: Kevin Kreeger, Andrew P. Smith, Ashwini Kshirsagar, Jun Ge, Xiangwei Zhang, Haili Chui, Christopher Ruth, Yiheng Zhang, Liyang Wei, Jay Stein
