Abstract:
Independent subspace analysis (ISA) is used to learn (42) filter kernels for CLE images in brain tumor classification. Convolution (46) and stacking are used for unsupervised learning (44, 48) with ISA to derive the filter kernels. A classifier is trained (56) to classify CLE brain images based on features extracted using the filter kernels. The resulting filter kernels and trained classifier are used (60, 64) to assist in diagnosis of occurrence of brain tumors during or as part of neurosurgical resection. The classification may assist a physician in detecting whether CLE examined brain tissue is healthy or not and/or a type of tumor.
Abstract:
Systems and methods for image classification include receiving imaging data of in-vivo or excised tissue of a patient during a surgical procedure. Local image features are extracted from the imaging data. A vocabulary histogram for the imaging data is computed based on the extracted local image features. A classification of the in-vivo or excised tissue of the patient in the imaging data is determined based on the vocabulary histogram using a trained classifier, which is trained based on a set of sample images with confirmed tissue types.
Abstract:
A method for performing cellular classification includes using a convolution sparse coding process to generate a plurality of feature maps based on a set of input images and a plurality of biologically-specific filters. A feature pooling operation is applied on each of the plurality of feature maps to yield a plurality of image representations. Each image representation is classified as one of a plurality of cell types.
Abstract:
A method for guiding electrophysiology (EP) intervention using a patient-specific electrophysiology model includes acquiring a medical image of a patient subject (S201). Sparse EP signals are acquired over an anatomy using the medical image for guidance (S202). The sparse EP signals are interpolated using a patient specific computational electrophysiology model and a three-dimensional model of EP dynamics is generated therefrom (S203). A rendering of the three-dimensional model is displayed. Candidate intervention sites are received, effects on the EP dynamics resulting from intervention at the candidate intervention sites is simulated using the model, and a rendering of the model showing the simulated effects is displayed (S205).
Abstract:
A method for segmenting an image includes registering an annotated template image to an acquired reference image using only rigid transformations to define a transformation function relating the annotated template image to the acquired reference image (S101). The defined transformation function is refined by registering the annotated template image to the acquired reference image using only affine transformations (S102). The refined transformation function is further refined by registering the annotated template image to the acquired reference image using only multi-affine transformations (S103). The twice refined transformation function is further refined by registering the annotated template image to the acquired reference image using deformation transformations (S104).
Abstract:
A method and system for classifying tissue endomicroscopy images are disclosed. Local feature descriptors are extracted from an endomicroscopy image. Each of the local feature descriptors is encoded using a learnt discriminative dictionary. The learnt discriminative dictionary includes class-specific sub-dictionaries and penalizes correlation between bases of sub-dictionaries associated with different classes. Tissue in the endomicroscopy image is classified using a trained machine learning based classifier based on the coded local feature descriptors encoded using a learnt discriminative dictionary.

A feature pooling operation (230) is applied on each of the plurality of local feature descriptors to yield a plurality of image representations and each image representation is classified as one of a plurality of cell types (240).
Abstract:
Methods and systems for estimating patient-specific cardiac electrical properties from medical image data and non-invasive electrocardiography measurements of a patient are disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical heart model is generated from medical image data of a patient. Patient-specific cardiac electrical properties are estimated by simulating cardiac electrophysiology over time in the patient-specific anatomical heart model using a computational cardiac electrophysiology model and adjusting cardiac electrical parameters based on the simulation results and the non-invasive electrocardiography measurements. A patient-specific cardiac electrophysiology model with the patient-specific cardiac electrical parameters can then be used to perform virtual cardiac electrophysiology interventions for planning and guidance of cardiac electrophysiology interventions.
Abstract:
A method and system for estimating physiological heart measurements from medical images and clinical data disclosed. A patient-specific anatomical model of the heart is generated from medical image data of the patient. A patient-specific multi-physics computational heart model is generated based on the patient-specific anatomical model by personalizing parameters of a cardiac electrophysiology model, a cardiac biomechanics model, and a cardiac hemodynamics model based on medical image data and clinical measurements of the patient. Cardiac function of the patient is simulated using the patient-specific multi-physics computational heart model. The parameters can be personalized by inverse problem algorithms based on forward model simulations or the parameters can be personalized using a machine-learning based statistical model.
