| 20210327054 | MEDICAL IMAGE SYNTHESIS OF ABNORMALITY PATTERNS ASSOCIATED WITH COVID-19 - Systems and methods for generating a synthesized medical image are provided. An input medical image is received. A synthesized segmentation mask is generated. The input medical image is masked based on the synthesized segmentation mask. The masked input medical image has an unmasked portion and a masked portion. An initial synthesized medical image is generated using a trained machine learning based generator network. The initial synthesized medical image includes a synthesized version of the unmasked portion of the masked input medical image and synthesized patterns in the masked portion of the masked input medical image. The synthesized patterns is fused with the input medical image to generate a final synthesized medical image. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210327055 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DETECTION OF INFECTIOUS RESPIRATORY DISEASES - This disclosure generally pertains to systems and methods for detection of infectious respiratory diseases by implementation of an automated X-rays-based triage approach alongside algorithmic clinical sample pooling for molecular diagnosis. Certain embodiments relate to methods for the development of deep learning algorithms that perform machine recognition of specific features and conditions in chest X-ray imaging data.

| 20210327056 | SYSTEMS AND METHODS OF VALIDATION OF RAPID TEST DEVICE RESULTS - Embodiments are directed to use of a rapid-test-validation computing device to determine if a result of a rapid test device is valid and identify the result. The rapid-test-validation computing device captures images of the rapid test device and employs a first artificial intelligence mechanism to determine if the rapid test device is properly aligned in the images. The rapid-test-validation computing device then employs a second artificial intelligence mechanism to determine if a result of the rapid test device is valid or invalid. If the result is valid, the rapid-test-validation computing device employs a third artificial intelligence mechanism to determine and present an objective output of the rapid test device result to a user; otherwise, the rapid-test-validation computing device presents a notification to the user that the rapid test device result is invalid. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210327057 | METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR DISPLAYING A REGION OF INTEREST OF A MEDICAL IMAGE - Method and system for displaying one or more regions of interest of an original image. For example, a computer-implemented method for displaying one or more regions of interest of an original image includes: obtaining one or more detection results of one or more first regions of interest, each detection result of the one or more detection results corresponding to one first region of interest of the one or more first regions of interest, each detection result including image information and one or more attribute parameters for their corresponding first region of interest; and obtaining one or more attribute parameter thresholds provided by a user in real time, each attribute parameter threshold of the one or more attribute parameter thresholds corresponding to one attribute parameter of the one or more attribute parameters. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210327058 | WRINKLE DETECTION METHOD AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE - A wrinkle detection method includes: rotating a region, in a face image, in which a wrinkle needs to be detected, to obtain a plurality of to-be-detected images; determining wrinkle points from all pixel points based on grayscale values of the pixel points in each of the to-be-detected images with different angles; determining at least one wrinkle line based on the wrinkle points; and then displaying, by the electronic device, the wrinkle line in the region in which the wrinkle needs to be detected, where each wrinkle line indicates one wrinkle in each of the to-be-detected images. | 2021-10-21 |
| 20210327059 | DIAGNOSIS RESULT GENERATION SYSTEM AND METHOD - A system and a method that output in both a machine-readable and a human-readable format, a result obtained by performing a diagnosis of a disease through an image of living tissue. A diagnosis result generation system includes a marking information generation module for generating marking information indicating a result obtained by diagnosing whether a disease is present in biological tissue provided on a slide of which a biological image is obtained therefrom, wherein the marking information includes disease state information for each pixel of the biometric image obtained from the slide; a contour extraction module for extracting at least one contour from the marking information; and a machine-readable/human-readable generation module for generating a machine-readable/human-readable document including outline information of each of the at least one extracted contour. | 2021-10-21 |
