  • Patent number: 11823046
    Abstract: A method and system for automatically inferring a subject's body position in a two-dimensional image produced by a medical-imaging system are disclosed. The image is labeled with a body position selected from a semantically meaningful set of candidate positions sequenced in order of their relative locations in a subject's body. A processor performs procedures that each identify a class of image features related to pixel intensity, such as a histogram of gradients, local binary patterns, or Haar-like features. A second set of procedures employs applications of a pretrained convolutional neural network that has learned to recognize features of a specific class of medical images. The results of both types of procedures are then mapped by a pretrained support-vector machine onto candidate image labels, which are mathematically combined into a single, semantically meaningful, label most likely to identify a body position of the subject shown by the image.

  • Patent number: 11282601
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for automatically annotating input images with bounding region annotations and corresponding anomaly labels. The mechanisms segment an input image to generate a mask corresponding to recognized internal structures of a subject. A template data structure is generated that specifies standardized internal structure zones of the subject. The mechanisms register the mask with the template data structure to generate a template registered mask identifying standardized internal structure zones present within the mask, and generate bounding region annotations for each standardized internal structure zone of the template registered mask. The bounding region annotations are correlated with labels indicating whether or not the bounding region comprises an anomaly in the input image based on an analysis of a received natural language text description of the input image. The bounding region annotations and labels are stored in association with the input image.

  • Patent number: 11244755
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement an automated medical imaging report generator which receives an input medical image and inputs the input medical image into a machine learning (ML) computer model trained to predict finding labels based on patterns of image features extracted from the medical image. The ML computer model generates a prediction of a finding label applicable to the input medical image in terms of a finding label prediction output vector. Based on the finding label prediction output vector, a lookup operation is performed, in a medical report database of previously processed medical imaging report data structures, to find a matching medical imaging report data structure corresponding to the finding label. An output medical imaging report is generated for the input medical image based on natural language content of the matching medical imaging report data structure.

  • Publication number: 20210019665
    Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement a machine learning framework that operates to register a plurality of machine learning algorithms used to train machine learning models to perform related tasks, and to index the machine learning algorithms to generate and store a machine learning algorithm metadata model for each machine learning algorithm. The machine learning framework receives a user specification of an analytics pipeline task for which a machine learning model is to be trained, and converts the user specification to machine learning algorithm search criteria used to search the index to identify matching machine learning algorithms having a corresponding machine learning algorithm metadata model that matches the machine learning algorithm search criteria. The machine learning framework outputs information describing the matching machine learning algorithms.

  • Patent number: 10699063
    Abstract: This disclosure describes systems, methods, and computer program products for authoring content for digital books. In some implementations, a single graphical user interface (GUI) is presented that allows an author to design a layout for the digital book, including editing text and inserting various types of interactive elements in the text. The GUI functions as both a digital book layout design tool and a word processor to facilitate the building of a digital book. The relative page location of inserted widgets can be determined by a user-selectable anchor point placed within the text. An outline view of the digital book can be created and presented in the GUI based on a hierarchical structure determined by paragraph styles applied to the text. The GUI can provide a hybrid glossary and index page for allowing the author to create and manage a glossary and index for the digital book.
