Imaging based symptomatic classification and cardiovascular stroke risk score estimation

Characterization of carotid atherosclerosis and classification of plaque into symptomatic or asymptomatic along with the risk score estimation are key steps necessary for allowing the vascular surgeons to decide if the patient has to definitely undergo risky treatment procedures that are needed to unblock the stenosis. This application describes a statistical (a) Computer Aided Diagnostic (CAD) technique for symptomatic versus asymptomatic plaque automated classification of carotid ultrasound images and (b) presents a cardiovascular stroke risk score computation. We demonstrate this for longitudinal Ultrasound, CT, MR modalities and extendable to 3D carotid Ultrasound. The on-line system consists of Atherosclerotic Wall Region estimation using AtheroEdge™ for longitudinal Ultrasound or Athero-CTView™ for CT or Athero-MRView from MR. This greyscale Wall Region is then fed to a feature extraction processor which computes: (a) Higher Order Spectra; (b) Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT); (c) Texture and (d) Wall Variability. The output of the Feature Processor is fed to the Classifier which is trained off-line from the Database of similar Atherosclerotic Wall Region images. The off-line Classifier is trained from the significant features from (a) Higher Order Spectra; (b) Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT); (c) Texture and (d) Wall Variability, selected using t-test. Symptomatic ground truth information about the training patients is drawn from cross modality imaging such as CT or MR or 3D ultrasound in the form of 0 or 1. Support Vector Machine (SVM) supervised classifier of varying kernel functions is used off-line for training. The Atheromatic™ system is also demonstrated for Radial Basis Probabilistic Neural Network (RBPNN), or Nearest Neighbor (KNN) classifier or Decision Trees (DT) Classifier for symptomatic versus asymptomatic plaque automated classification. The obtained training parameters are then used to evaluate the test set. The system also yields the cardiovascular stroke risk score value on the basis of the four set of wall features.

Computer aided diagnostic system incorporating appearance analysis for diagnosing malignant lung nodules

A computer aided diagnostic system and automated method diagnose lung cancer through modeling and analyzing the visual appearance of pulmonary nodules. A learned appearance model used in such analysis describes the appearance of pulmonary nodules in terms of voxel-wise conditional Gibbs energies for a generic rotation and translation invariant second-order Markov-Gibbs random field (MGRF) model of malignant nodules with analytically estimated characteristic voxel neighborhoods and potentials.

Systems and methods for evaluating a brain scan

The present disclosure provides systems and methods for evaluating a brain scan using reference data. Specifically, the systems and methods include a computed tomography (CT) scanner for the purpose of diagnosing concussions or mild traumatic brain injuries (mTBI). The system includes a multi-energy x-ray source (i.e., spectral CT), a photon counting x-ray detector, and a content-aware computer aided diagnostic (CAD) algorithm designed to detect imperceptible changes indicative of structural and physiological damage caused by a concussive event by comparing raw volumetric datasets of baseline (healthy) reference scan data to patient scan data taken after a concussive event.

Computer aided diagnostic system for mapping of brain images

Systems, methods, and computer program products for classifying a brain are disclosed. An embodiment method includes processing image data to generate segmented image data of a brain cortex. The method further includes generating a statistical analysis of the brain based on a three dimensional (3D) model of the brain cortex generated from the segmented image data. The method further includes using the statistical analysis to classify the brain cortex and to identify the brain as being associated with a particular neurological condition. According to a further embodiment, generating the 3D model of the brain further includes registering a 3D volume associated with the model with a corresponding reference volume and generating a 3D mesh associated with the registered 3D volume. The method further includes generating the statistical analysis by analyzing individual mesh nodes of the registered 3D mesh based on a spherical harmonic shape analysis of the 3D model.
