    Abstract: An image calibration method includes capturing and correcting a flood field image for background signal and effects of known image-panel features (dead/bad pixels). The corrected image is processed to separate frequencies characteristic of relative pixel sensitivities from frequencies characteristic of radiation energy fluence. The incident energy fluence has a known maximum in-field energy fluence gradient. A model that describes the incident energy fluence on a detector is generated or received. The corrected image may be modeled at frequencies at or below the maximum in-field energy fluence gradient. A pixel sensitivity matrix (PSM) is generated by adjusting the corrected image with the model of the incident energy fluence on the detector. For example, the corrected image signal may be divided by the model or the model may be subtracted from the corrected image. The PSM may be used to correct additional raw images captured by the detector.

    Abstract: Training a neural network to correct motion-induced artifacts in magnetic resonance images includes acquiring motion-free magnetic resonance image (MRI) data of a target object and applying a spatial transformation matrix to the motion-free MRI data. Multiple frames of MRI data are produced having respective motion states. A Non-uniform Fast Fourier Transform (NUFFT) can be applied to generate respective k-space data sets corresponding to each of the multiple frames of MRI; the respective k-space data sets can be combined to produce a motion-corrupted k-space data set and an adjoint NUFFT can be applied to the motion-corrupted k-space data set. Updated frames of motion-corrupted MRI data can be formed. Using the updated frames of motion corrupted MRI data, a neural network can be trained that generates output frames of motion free MRI data; and the neural network can be saved.

    Abstract: System and Method pertaining to the modification and integration of an existing consumer digital camera, for example, with an optical imaging module to enable point and shoot fundus photography of the eye. The auto-focus macro capability of existing consumer cameras is adapted to photograph the retina over an extended diopter range, eliminating the need for manual diopter focus adjustment. The thru-the-lens (TTL) auto-exposure flash capability of existing consumer cameras is adapted to photograph the retina with automatic flash exposure eliminating the need for manual flash adjustment. The consumer camera imaging sensor and flash are modified to allow the camera sensor to perform both non-mydriatic focusing of the retina using infrared illumination and standard color flash photography of the retina without the need for additional imaging sensors or mechanical filters. These modifications and integration of existing consumer cameras for fundus photography of the eye significantly improve ease of manufacture and usability.
