  • Patent number: 10991097
    Abstract: Techniques for generating an overlay map on a digital medical image of a slide are provided, and include cell detection and tissue classification processes. Techniques include receiving a medical image, separating the image into tiles, and performing tile classifications and tissue classifications based on a multi-tile analysis. Techniques additionally include identifying cell objects in the image, separating the image into and displaying polygons identifying the cell objects and cell classifications. Generated displays may be overlays over the initial digital image.

  • Publication number: 20200005461
    Abstract: A platform is provided for generating 3D models of a tumor segmented from a series of 2D medical images and for identifying from these 3D models, radiomic features that may be used for diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment response assessment of the tumor. The radiomic features may be shape-based features, intensity-based features, textural features, and filter-based features. The radiomic features are compared to remove sufficiently redundant features, thereby producing a reduced set of radiomic features, which is then compared to separate genomic data and/or outcome data to identify clinically and biologically significant radiomic features for diagnostic, prognostic, and treatment response assessment, other applications.

  • Patent number: 6659107
    Abstract: Donor material from a xenogeneic source is modified to enhance its survival time in a recipient by treating the donor material using low-dose photodynamic therapy (PDT). The donor material, such as an organ or cell suspension, is treated with a photosensitizer and irradiated in a low-dose protocol before transplantation into a xenogeneic recipient.
