  • LIPID BIOMARKERS FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF CANCER
    Publication number: 20190302118
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a cancer biomarker for a patient suffering from pleural effusion, a method of determining whether a patient suffering from pleural effusion has cancer, and a method of treating cancer in a patient suffering from pleural effusion. Disclosed herein also include a cancer biomarker for the detection of cancer with EGFR mutation, a method of determining whether a patient suffering from cancer has EGFR mutation, and a method of treating cancer in a patient with EGFR mutation.

  • Segmentation of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) images using a memory persistence approach
    Patent number: 10235750
    Abstract: A method is proposed for identifying an anatomical structure within a spatial-temporal image (i.e. a series of frames captured as respective times). A current frame of spatial-temporal medical image is processed using information from one or more previous and/or subsequent temporal frames, to aid in the segmentation of an object or a region of interest (ROI) in a current frame. The invention is applicable to both two- and three-dimensional spatial-temporal images (i.e., 2D+time or 3D+time), and in particular to cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR images). An initialization process for this method segments the left ventricle (LV) in a CMR image by a fuzzy c-means (FCM) clustering algorithm which employs a circular shape function as part of the definition of the dissimilarity measure.
