  • Patent number: 8430816
    Abstract: A data processing technique is provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes accessing reference deviation maps for a plurality of disease types. The reference deviation maps may include subsets of maps associated with severity levels of respective disease types, and a disease severity score may be associated with each severity level. The method may include selecting patient severity levels for multiple disease types based on the subsets of reference deviation maps. Also, the method may include automatically calculating a combined patient disease severity score based at least in part on the disease severity scores associated with the selected patient severity levels, and may include outputting a report based at least in part on the combined patient disease severity score. Additional methods, systems, and manufactures are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 8010381
    Abstract: A data processing technique is provided. In one embodiment, a computer-implemented method includes accessing patient deviation data of a structural difference between a patient anatomical feature and a standardized anatomical feature. The method may also include comparing the patient deviation data to reference deviation data sets representative of multiple disease types. Each reference deviation data set may be representative of an expected deviation from the standardized anatomical feature for a particular disease type. The method may further include automatically identifying one or more potential patient disease types based at least in part on the comparison. Additional methods, systems, and manufactures are also disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7929737
    Abstract: Methods and systems for automatically generating a severity index for images of anatomical features of a patient are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, an image of an anatomical feature of a patient is compared with a normal, standardized image of the same anatomical feature. Based on this comparison, a deviation image for the anatomical feature is generated that represents the degree and manner the acquired image deviates from normal for that anatomical feature. The deviation image is automatically pattern matched against multiple images of known disease severity for the anatomical feature. Based on the automated pattern match, a known disease severity, such as in the form of a severity index, is provided as corresponding anatomical feature for the patient.

  • Publication number: 20070127793
    Abstract: Images and quantitative analytical data are displayed in an interactive manner to a user to facilitate efficient and effective diagnosis, treatment, and assessment of an abnormality or pathology. Images acquired over time, which may be acquired with scanners of various modalities, are registered, displayed in a single image, and comparatively quantified to provide historical analysis of a given abnormality or pathology. The historical images and quantitative data may then be analyzed to determine the effectiveness of an applied treatment and provide additional guidance for a to-be implemented treatment. The images may include anatomical images or functional images. The quantitative data may be displayed in an interactive tabular format or displayed graphically through histograms, charts, graphs, and the like.
