Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of generating augmented images of tissue of a patient, wherein each augmented image associates at least one tissue parameter with a region or pixel of the image of the tissue, said method comprising the following steps: obtaining one or more multispectral images of said tissue, and applying a machine learning based regressor or classifier, or an out of distribution (OoD) detection algorithm for determining information about the closeness of the multispectral image or parts of said multispectral image to a given training data set, or a change detection algorithm to at least a part of said one or more multispectral images, or an image derived from said multispectral image, or to a time sequence of multispectral images, parts of multiple images or images derived therefrom, to thereby derive one or more tissue parameters associated with image regions or pixels of the corresponding multispectral image.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method of generating augmented images of tissue of a patient undergoing open treatment, in particular open surgery, wherein each augmented image associates at least one tissue parameter with a region or pixel of the image of the tissue, said method comprising the following steps: estimating a spectral composition of light illuminating a region of interest of the tissue, obtaining one or more multispectral images of the region of interest, applying a machine learning based regressor or classifier to the one or more multispectral images, or an image derived from said multispectral image, to thereby derive one or more tissue parameters associated with image regions or pixels of the corresponding multispectral image, wherein said regressor or classifier has been trained to predict the one or more tissue parameters from a multispectral image under a given spectral composition of illumination, wherein the regressor or classifier employed is made to match the estimated spectral composition of l

Abstract: An improved histopathological score is obtained by generating image objects from images of tissue containing stained epithelial cells. First objects are generated that correspond to basal cells stained with a first stain, such as p63. Second objects are generated that correspond to luminal cells stained with a second stain, such as CK18. If the same tissue is not stained with both stains, then the images of differently stained tissue are co-registered. Third objects are defined to include only those second objects that have more than a minimum separation from any first object. A scoring region includes the third objects, and the histopathological score is determined based on tissue that falls within the scoring region. For example, a Gleason score of prostate tissue is determined by classifying tissue patterns in the scoring region. Alternatively, a Gleason pattern is assigned by counting the number of third objects that possess a predetermined form.

Abstract: In an apparatus for inspecting small articles, such as in particular tablets, for obtaining a precise lining up of the articles there is a rotationally symmetrical separating body (4) rotatable about a vertical rotation axis (A), which has a substantially conical feed section (6) and a section (7, 8) for orienting and/or separating the articles (G) surrounded by a ring slot (S) at least corresponding to the thickness of the articles (G). The separating section (8) is subdivided into individual shafts (11) for receiving the articles (G) by ribs (9) circumferentially succeeding one another with a spacing at least corresponding to the width or diameter of the articles (G).
