  • METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR CANCER RISK ASSESSMENT USING TISSUE SOUND SPEED AND STIFFNESS
    Publication number: 20220323043
    Abstract: A method of analyzing an image of a volume of tissue to determine a risk of developing breast cancer using a volume averaged sound speed within the volume. A method of determining a response to a treatment plan by determining a volume and a volume averaged sound speed of a region of interest within a volume of breast tissue and generating a combined metric from the volume and the volume averaged sound speed over the plurality of instances of time. A method of analyzing an image of a volume of tissue of a breast by applying a spatial filter to at least one ultrasound tomography image at the computing system and generating a stiffness map from the at least one ultrasound tomography image.

  • Dynamic protocol selection and routing of content to mobile devices
    Publication number: 20020022453
    Abstract: A method for delivering content to a plurality of mobile devices communicatively coupled to each other via BLUETOOTH technology and participating in a communication network is provided. The content includes a plurality of data types and is delivered from a service provider to at least one of the mobile devices depending on the characteristics of the data and the characteristics of the device. The method includes the steps of associating a user with a global profile having the characteristics of the devices and user attributes, storing the global profile on the service provider; dynamically selecting an optimal communication protocol for transport of the content based on the data type and selecting at least one of the mobile devices being best suited to receive the data type. Thus, the content is routed to one of the devices in accordance with the global profile, data characteristics and prevailing network conditions.
