Methods for using pet measured metabolism to determine cognitive impairment

A non-invasive, early stage method to obtain quantitative measures of mild cognitive impairment useful in diagnosing and following degenerative brain disease or closed head injuries by utilizing the image data from individual patient positron emission tomographic scans to construct a cognitive decline index that serves as a diagnostic and screening tool to reveal the onset of mild cognitive impairment and nervous system dysfunction which are sequelae of degenerative brain diseases and closed head injury. The method involves using weighted values of brain region intensities derived from comparing scans of normal subjects to a scan of the patient to calculate a cognitive decline index that is useful as a diagnostic tool for mild cognitive impairment. The weights for the intensity values for each region are derived from the differences of intensity values from regions of the brain of the patient selected by comparing the patient to normal control subjects.

Color to black and white converter

A continuously variable screening tool is used to generate a unique texture pattern for every color in a multicolor image. The continuously variable screening tool allows a single colorant version of the image to be generated with less information loss than typically suffered in the multicolor to single color transformation process. The continuously variable screening tool is generated by blending patterns from a set of reference screens. The reference screens are associated with selected reference colors in, for example, a machine independent color space. A calculated screen is generated through a weighted blend of reference screens located near the arbitrary color in the machine independent color space. Typically, the weights depend on the distance the arbitrary color is from each of the reference colors. The screens consist of arrays of threshold values. Each threshold value is associated with a dot position and an image pixel. Where a pixel value exceeds the associated threshold value, provision is made to place a mark in the associated dot position. An image processor operative to carry out the method comprises a continuously variable screening tool generator. An embodiment of the image processor includes a reference screen storage device and a screen blender.

System and method of diagnosing pediatric obstructive sleep apnea

One aspect of the present invention is to assess the performance of automated analysis of blood oxygen saturation (SpO2) recordings as a screening tool for OSAHS. As an initial step, statistical, spectral and nonlinear features are estimated to compose an initial feature set. Then, a fast correlation-based filter (FCBF) is next applied to search for the optimum subset. Finally, the discriminationpower of three pattern recognition algorithms is assessed: linear discriminant analysis (LDA), quadratic discriminant analysis (QDA) and logistic regression (LR). According to another aspect of the invention, oximetry is used to determine the OSAHS severity in children. Single-channel Sp02 recordings from 176 children were divided into three severity groups according to the apnea- hypopnea index (AHI): AHI<1 events per hour (e / h), l<AliI<5 e / h, and Alii >= 5 e / h. For testing the severity of OSAHS, first spectral analysis is conducted to define and characterize a frequency band of interest in SpO2. Then the spectral data is combined with 3% oxygen desaturation index (ODI3) by means of a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) neural network, in order to classify children into one of the three OSAHS severity groups.
