Patent number: 12260952Abstract: The present application discloses a method, device, and system for processing a medical image. The method includes obtaining, by one or more processors, a first medical image, wherein the first medical image includes a representation of a target organ, and processing, by the one or more processors, the first medical image based at least in part on a first machine learning model. A classification result associated with the first medical image and a first image of a target region in the first medical image are obtained based at least in part on the processing of the first medical image using the first machine learning model.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2021Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Alibaba Group Holding LimitedInventors: Jianqiang Ma, Zhe Tang, Minfeng Xu, Shuangrui Liu, Wenchao Guo

Patent number: 12257096Abstract: Systems and methods provide automated systems for accurately estimating infusion coverage within a target brain region in real-time (or approximately real-time) during surgical procedures. Such accurate and real-time infusion coverage estimation enables intraoperative monitoring and adjustment of infusion parameters (e.g., cannula tip location, infusate delivery flow rate, etc.) for achieving optimal/improved infusion coverage for a given drug therapy. Accordingly, examples of the presently disclosed technology can improve the efficacy and safety of drug therapies delivered to the brain.Type: GrantFiled: August 24, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: ClearPoint Neuro, Inc.Inventors: Lyubomir Zagorchev, Damon Hyde, Chen Li

Patent number: 12260554Abstract: In a case where a first specific scene recognized at a time of insertion of an endoscope is stored in a specific scene memory and a recognized scene recognized by a scene recognition unit is a scene on a side deeper than the first specific scene in a direction of movement of the endoscope, the recognized scene is output without being changed. In a case where the first specific scene is stored in the specific scene memory and the recognized scene is a scene on a side shallower than the first specific scene in the direction of movement of the endoscope, the recognized scene is changed and output.Type: GrantFiled: November 25, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: FUJIFILM CorporationInventor: Misaki Meguro

Patent number: 12260607Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for augmenting digital analysis of lesions. An image of tissue having a glandular epithelial component is generated. The image represents a plurality of medium-scale epithelial components. For each of a plurality of cells within the image, a representative point is identified to provide a plurality of representative points for each of the plurality of medium-scale epithelial components. For each of a subset of the plurality of medium-scale epithelial components, a graph connecting the plurality of representative points is constructed. A plurality of classification features is extracted for each of the subset of medium-scale epithelial components from the graph constructed for the medium-scale epithelial component. A clinical parameter is assigned to each medium-scale epithelial component according to the extracted plurality of classification features.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2019Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignees: THE BRIGHAM AND WOMEN'S HOSPITAL, INC., CHARITE UNIVERSITATSMEDIZIN BERLINInventors: George L.

Patent number: 12260558Abstract: Described herein are Deep Multi-Magnification Networks (DMMNs). The multi-class tissue segmentation architecture processes a set of patches from multiple magnifications to make more accurate predictions. For the supervised training, partial annotations may be used to reduce the burden of annotators. The segmentation architecture with multi-encoder, multi-decoder, and multi-concatenation outperforms other segmentation architectures on breast datasets, and can be used to facilitate pathologists' assessments of breast cancer in margin specimens.Type: GrantFiled: October 3, 2022Date of Patent: March 25, 2025Assignee: Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer CenterInventors: Thomas Fuchs, David Joon Ho
