  • Publication number: 20230134678
    Abstract: An operating method of a ketogenic dietary evaluation system includes steps as follows. The electroencephalogram data of a responder group and the electroencephalogram data of a non-responder group are preloaded, in which each electroencephalogram datum includes electroencephalograms of channels. The electroencephalograms of the channels are preprocessed to obtain the preprocessed electroencephalograms of the channels. A connectivity matrix is obtained on a basis of the phase synchronization between each two of the preprocessed electroencephalograms of the channels. The connectivity matrix is sampled and analyzed through different frequency bands and different proportion threshold values to obtain graphical parameters. A predictive model is established on a basis of a reduction rate of a predetermined event of the responder group, a reduction rate of the predetermined event of the non-responder group and the parameters.

  • Patent number: 11042983
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides an operating method of an automatic brain infarction detection system on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), which includes steps as follows. Images corresponding to different slices of a brain of a subject are received from the MRI machine. The image mask process is performed on first and second images of the images. It is determined whether the cerebellum image intensity and the brain image intensity in the first image are matched. When the cerebellum image intensity and the brain image intensity are not matched, the cerebellar image intensity in the first image is adjusted. The first image is processed through a nonlinear regression to obtain a third image. A neural network identify an infarct region by using the first, second and third images that are cut.

  • Patent number: 10448878
    Abstract: Many electrodes are positioned inside a skull for obtaining several electric voltage variation wave information. A processing unit computes subtract operation between two neighboring electrical voltage variation wave information respectively and then can obtain electrical voltage difference waves. Furthermore, each electrical voltage difference wave is separated into a first band wave signal and a second band wave signal. After which, several first band wave envelope signals and second band wave envelope signals are obtained. It conducts a co-relation processing about the first band wave envelope signals and the second band wave envelope signals. So, a co-relation table is obtained for determining a position where an intracranial brain wave abnormality occurs. In this invention, a unique scientific approach to determine the spatial position of seizure onset occurred inside the brain. In addition, the position of intracranial brain wave abnormality can be concretized and visualized by the co-relation table.
