Systems and methods for automated diagnosis and decision support for breast imaging

CAD (computer-aided diagnosis) systems and applications for breast imaging are provided, which implement methods to automatically extract and analyze features from a collection of patient information (including image data and / or non-image data) of a subject patient, to provide decision support for various aspects of physician workflow including, for example, automated diagnosis of breast cancer other automated decision support functions that enable decision support for, e.g., screening and staging for breast cancer. The CAD systems implement machine-learning techniques that use a set of training data obtained (learned) from a database of labeled patient cases in one or more relevant clinical domains and / or expert interpretations of such data to enable the CAD systems to “learn” to analyze patient data and make proper diagnostic assessments and decisions for assisting physician workflow.

Uterine cervical cancer computer-aided-diagnosis (CAD)

Uterine cervical cancer Computer-Aided-Diagnosis (CAD) according to this invention consists of a core processing system that automatically analyses data acquired from the uterine cervix and provides tissue and patient diagnosis, as well as adequacy of the examination. The data can include, but is not limited to, color still images or video, reflectance and fluorescence multi-spectral or hyper-spectral imagery, coherent optical tomography imagery, and impedance measurements, taken with and without the use of contrast agents like 3-5% acetic acid, Lugol's iodine, or 5-aminolevulinic acid. The core processing system is based on an open, modular, and feature-based architecture, designed for multi-data, multi-sensor, and multi-feature fusion. The core processing system can be embedded in different CAD system realizations. For example: A CAD system for cervical cancer screening could in a very simple version consist of a hand-held device that only acquires one digital RGB image of the uterine cervix after application of 3-5% acetic acid and provides automatically a patient diagnosis. A CAD system used as a colposcopy adjunct could provide all functions that are related to colposcopy and that can be provided by a computer, from automation of the clinical workflow to automated patient diagnosis and treatment recommendation.

System and method of geospatially mapping topological regions and displaying their attributes

A geographical information system and a method are disclosed for geospatially mapping a least one parcel polygon within a geographical region and for displaying at least one specific attribute of each parcel polygon, i.e. a topological area within the given geographical region, as an attached attribute of latitude and longitude coordinates. The centroid or center point of each of the parcel polygons is determined and stored into conventional computer storage means. The latitude and longitude point feature at the centroid of each parcel polygon is established and similarly stored. A unique tax identification number, e.g. the Assessor Parcel Number (APN) or Parcel Identifier Number (PIN), is assigned to each of the point features. A correlation is then made between the unique tax identification number of the point feature to a text list of at least one attribute, e.g., the physical address of the parcel polygon, of each of the point features. This attribute becomes attached to each point feature. The resulting parcel polygon map and point features with one or more of the attached attributes can then be displayed within a GIS or CAD system to provide the user, for example, accurate locations of street addresses for use in environments that require pinpoint accuracy, such as emergency response.

Maintaining a computer-generated design model

Restructuring a CAD-system generated design model includes receiving at a computer a command to restructure the design model. The command to restructure indicates a desired change in a hierarchical relationship of a first subset of the model's components with respect to other model components. In accordance with the command to restructure, a new hierarchical data structure can be generated. The new hierarchical data structure identifies a new hierarchical relationship between the model components. Other relationships that are changed as a result of the command to restructure are also determined and are automatically preserved subsequent to the generation of the new hierarchical relationship.

Multi-material toolpath generation for direct metal deposition

A method of modeling multiple material parts for additive manufacturing processes such direct metal deposition operates within the constraints of a single material CAD system. Each material is modeled separately as a single or multiple solid part, under the assumption that there are no internal multiple materials; that is, no voids for other material parts. The parts are ordered from the outer most geometry to the innermost geometry and Boolean operations are performed to calculate the final volume for each part. In use of the invention, should any design changes occur, only the parts as originally defined need to be modified, and the method is reapplied. The method is applicable to the generation of CAM cutting paths for 2½-D and 3-D geometries by pocket machining with spiral-in, spiral-out, and arbitrary direction raster tool paths using stock material with and without reflection, depending upon the geometry. Single- and multi-material files may be merged one toolpath file, and commands may be embedded for closed- or open-loop control of the fabrication process.

Automatic segmentation method for lung-area CT (Computed Tomography) sequence

The invention discloses an automatic segmentation method for a lung-area CT sequence. The method is characterized by comprising the steps of 1) an image I of the lung-area CT sequence is input; 2) the image I is segmented via interactive region growth; 3) according to a segmentation result, an initial contour is obtained, and seed-point coordinates of adjacent images are calculated; 4) based on the seed-point coordinates of the image I, a present image II in the sequence is segmented via the interactive region growth in step 2; and 5) step 2, 3, 4 are repeated to determine whether all images in the CT sequence are segmented, and if no, the step 3 is turned to. The automatic segmentation method automatically calculates mapping of the seed-point areas by combining the image context object characteristic continuity of the sequence to realize sequence segmentation, thereby obtaining complete three-dimensional area data of the lung, and providing basis for VOI extraction and classification of a suspected lung tubercle for a CAD system.
