  • Patent number: 11176188
    Abstract: A visualization framework based on document representation learning is described herein. The framework may first convert a free text document into word vectors using learning word embeddings. Document representations may then be determined in a fixed-dimensional semantic representation space by passing the word vectors through a trained machine learning model, wherein more related documents lie closer than less related documents in the representation space. A clustering algorithm may be applied to the document representations for a given patient to generate clusters. The framework then generates a visualization based on these clusters.

  • Patent number: 10820837
    Abstract: In a method for alpha angle measurements of a bone joint based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data of the bone joint, a three-dimensional (3D) bone surface image of the bone joint is generated based on two-dimensional (2D) segmentations on radial plane slices of the bone joint. Based on the 3D bone surface image, a head center of a head of the bone joint and a neck axis of a neck of the bone joint are estimated. An alpha angle model is constructed based on the estimated head center and neck axis. Further, the alpha angle measurement is determined for each of the radial plane slices of the bone joint based on the constructed alpha angle model.

  • Patent number: 10803354
    Abstract: A framework for cross-modality image synthesis. A first and second model may be trained using respective first and second pairs of complementary images and corresponding first and second ground truth images that represent first and second views of a region of interest. The first and second pairs of complementary images may be acquired by a first modality and the first and second ground truth images may be acquired by a second modality. A combinational network may further be trained to combine features from the first and second models. At least one synthetic second modality image may then be generated by passing current images through the trained first or second model and the combinational network, wherein the current images are acquired by the first modality and represent the first or second view of the region of interest.
