  • Patent number: 11367001
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method of facilitating neural network image analysis involves receiving signals representing a set of images, causing at least one neural network function to be applied to the set of images to determine at least one property confidence distribution parameter, and causing a cumulative distribution function defined at least in part by the at least one property confidence distribution parameter to be applied to a plurality of ranges, each range associated with a respective property that may be associated with the set of images, to determine a plurality of property confidences, each of the property confidences representing a confidence that the set of images should be associated with a respective one of the properties. Other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are disclosed.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 4, 2021
    Date of Patent: June 21, 2022
    Assignee: The University of British Columbia

  • Patent number: 10751029
    Abstract: Embodiments of a computer-implemented method of facilitating ultrasonic image analysis of a subject are disclosed. The method can involve receiving signals representing a set of ultrasound images of the subject, deriving one or more extracted feature representations from the set of ultrasound images, determining, based on the derived one or more extracted feature representations, a quality assessment value representing a quality assessment of the set of ultrasound images, determining, based on the derived one or more extracted feature representations, an image property associated with the set of ultrasound images, and producing signals representing the quality assessment value and the image property for causing the quality assessment value and the image property to be associated with the set of ultrasound images. Embodiments of a computer-implemented method of training one or more neural networks to facilitate ultrasonic image analysis is also disclosed.
