Patent number: 11699102Abstract: An apparatus, system and process for identifying one or more different tissue types are described. The method may include applying a configuration to one or more programmable light sources of an imaging system, where the configuration is obtained from a machine learning model trained to distinguish between the one or more different tissue types captured in image data. The method may also include illuminating a scene with the configured one or more programmable light sources, and capturing image data that includes one or more types of tissue depicted in the image data. Furthermore, the method may include analyzing color information in the captured image data with the machine learning model to identify at least one of the one or more different tissue types in the image data, and rendering a visualization of the scene from the captured image data that visually differentiates tissue types in the visualization.Type: GrantFiled: December 10, 2021Date of Patent: July 11, 2023Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Vidya Ganapati, Eden Rephaeli

Publication number: 20210038054Abstract: A system for medical diagnosis includes a fiber optic cable and a plurality of light emitters optically coupled to a first end of the fiber optic cable. Each light emitter in the plurality of light emitters emits a distinct bandwidth of light. The system also includes a controller electrically coupled to the plurality of light emitters. The controller includes logic that when executed by the controller causes the controller to perform operations including: receiving instructions including an illumination mode, and adjusting an intensity of the light emitted from each light emitter in the plurality of light emitters to match the illumination mode.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 13, 2020Publication date: February 11, 2021Inventors: Vidya Ganapati, Supriyo Sinha, Eden Rephaeli

Patent number: 10878264Abstract: An imaging system (e.g., hyperspectral imaging system) receives an indication to compare a first object and a second object (e.g., two anatomical structures or organs in a medical environment). The imaging system accesses a classification vector for the first object and the second object, the classification vector having been extracted by separating a plurality of collected reflectance values for the first object from a plurality of collected reflectance values for the second object. A set of optimal illumination intensities for one or more spectral illumination sources of the imaging system is determined based on the extracted classification vector. The first and second objects are illuminated with the determined illumination intensities. A high-contrast image of the first and second objects is provided for display, such that the two objects can be readily distinguished in the image. The intensity of pixels in the image is determined by the illumination intensities.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 2019Date of Patent: December 29, 2020Assignee: Verily Life Sciences LLCInventors: Eden Rephaeli, Vidya Ganapati, Daniele Piponi, Thomas Teisseyre
