  • Patent number: 11861475
    Abstract: Described here are systems and methods for generating and implementing a hybrid machine learning and mechanistic model to produce biological feature maps, or other measurements of biological features, based on an input of multiparametric magnetic resonance or other images. The hybrid model can include a combination of a machine learning model and a mechanistic model that takes as an input multiparametric MRI, or other imaging, data to generate biological feature maps (e.g., tumor cell density maps), or other measures or predictions of biological features (e.g., tumor cell density). The hybrid models have capabilities of learning individual-specific relationships between imaging features and biological features.

  • Patent number: 11651862
    Abstract: A system and method for predicting mild cognitive impairment (MCI) related diagnosis and prognosis utilizing deep learning. More specifically, the system and method produce predictions of MCI conversions to Alzheimer's/dementia and prognosis related thereof. Using available medical imaging and non-imaging data a diagnosis and prognosis model is a deep learned model trained using transfer learning. An MCI-DAP server may then receive a request from a clinician to process predictions related to a target patient's diagnosis or prognosis. The target patient's medical data is retrieved and used to create a model for the target patient. Then details of the target patient's model and the diagnosis and prognosis model are compared, a prediction is generated, and the prediction is returned to the clinician. As new medical data becomes available it is fed into the respective model to improve accuracy and update predictions.

  • Publication number: 20220301172
    Abstract: Methods that implement image-guided tissue analysis, MRI-based computational modeling, and imaging informatics to analyze the diversity and dynamics of molecularly-distinct subpopulations and the evolving competitive landscapes in human glioblastoma multiforme (“GBM”) are provided. Machine learning models are constructed based on multiparametric MRI data and molecular data (e.g., CNV, exome, gene expression). Models can also be built based on specific biological factors, such as sex and age. Inputting MRI data into the trained predictive models generates maps that depict spatial patterns of molecular markers, which can be used to quantify and co-localize regions molecularly distinct subpopulations in tumors and other regions, such as the non-enhancing parenchyma, or brain around tumor (“BAT”) regions.

  • Publication number: 20220148731
    Abstract: Genetic and/or other biological marker prediction data are generated based on inputting medical image data to a suitably trained machine learning model, where the output genetic prediction data not only indicate a prediction of genetic features and/or other biological markers for a subject, but also a measure of uncertainty in each of those predictions. As an example, a transductive learning Gaussian process model is used to generate the genetic and/or other biological marker predication data and corresponding predictive uncertainty data. As another example, a knowledge-infused global-local data fusion model can be used for spatial predictive modeling.

  • Patent number: 10909675
    Abstract: A system and method for characterizing tissues of a subject using multi-parametric imaging are provided. In some aspects, the method includes receiving a set of multi-parametric magnetic resonance (“MR”) images acquired from a subject using an MR imaging system, and selecting at least one region of interest (“ROI”) in the subject using one or more images in the set of multi-parametric MR images. The method also includes performing a texture analysis on corresponding ROIs in the set of multi-parametric MR images to generate a set of texture features, and applying a classification scheme, using the set of texture features, to characterize tissues in the ROI. The method further includes generating a report indicative of characterized tissues in the ROI.
