Publication number: 20260080315Abstract: A system and method for image-based monitoring of an object inserted into a patient is disclosed. A model can be trained for an object configured to be inserted into a patient as part of a medical procedure, the trained model being generated from one or more machine learning algorithms that are trained on annotated images of the object with spatial information of the object. An imaging computer system can receive one or more images of the object inserted within the patient captured by an imaging device positioned external to the patient. The imaging computer system can further determine, based on applying the trained model to the one or more images of the object, current spatial information of the object within the patient. A display can output the one or more images and the current spatial information of the object.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2025Publication date: March 19, 2026Inventors: Gabriel FINE, Nathan SILBERMAN

Publication number: 20240148367Abstract: The systems and methods, in one embodiment, include a convolutional neural network (CNN) model trained by a modified version of the CycleGAN process. The CNN filters ultrasound images generated by a handheld ultrasound device to generate images that are perceptually similar to images generated by a cart-based ultrasound device in terms of quality. The resulting images look sharper and less noisy compared to the original inputs. The invention is a tool within the actions menu of a mobile app. When the tool is open, users can turn filtering on and off. The users will turn filtering on to reduce noise so they can reach the right scanning spot faster. After which because of body habitus, still there might be some noise that this tool can clean up. The user can then decide to have the filtering on or off during the diagnostic process.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 8, 2023Publication date: May 9, 2024Inventors: Pouya Samangouei, Murad Omar, Joseph Paul Cohen, Eric Brattain, Igor Lovchinsky, Nathan Silberman, Swami Sankaranarayanan, Yang Liu, Audrey Howell
