    Abstract: A device for identifying a region of interest to be dissected from a biological tissue sample is presented. The device comprises an image analyzing unit which iteratively grows the region of interest from an initial size to a final size as long as a target parameter which is based on the two detected densities D 1 and D 2 and which describes the region of interest, is above a predefined target value. Preferably, the target parameter is the density ratio D 1 /D 2 of the region of interest and the first type of detected cells are tumor cells whereas the second type of cells are non-tumor cells. Furthermore, optimization or cost functions can be applied which take into account the percentage of number of cells of the first cell type and the total number of cells of the first cell type in the respective region of interest.

    Abstract: A system (10) is for performing ECG measurements and comprises a probe (12) with an integrated one or more ECG electrodes (22) and an ultrasound sensing means (18), such as a transducer arrangement. The probe thus provides a mobile ECG electrode which can be sequentially moved between a set of different locations on the body for acquiring ECG measurements from different angles relative to the heart (i.e. different 'leads'). Positioning of the probe in each required location is guided by a position guidance function which uses ultrasound data acquired by the ultrasound sensing means to locate the probe (with reference to an ultrasound body atlas (28) or map), and uses a stored set of reference body locations to guide a user with guidance information as to how to move the probe to arrive at a next target electrode location. In examples, the user may be guided through a sequence of electrode locations, with ECG data acquired at each one, thereby sequentially building up a set of standard ECG lead measurements.

    Abstract: Currently, there is interest in applying machine learning techniques to analyse digital pathology images automatically. Machine learning techniques often rely on training with a ground-truth image input. The quality and amount of training data determines the quality of the detector, as expressed in the rate of true and false positives, and robustness against variations in the appearance of the input images. The present application proposes to obtain image data of the same sample before and after at least one re- staining step (firstly with a structure-revealing stain, and secondly with a bio marker revealing stain). Sections of the first and second image data having a good registration relationship are chosen, along with the probability of detecting a desired candidate object (such as nucleus) and the probability of the bio marker revealing stain being present annotation data suitable for training a machine learning algorithm on the first and/or the second image data is provided.

    Abstract: The invention relates to an ultrasound data visualization apparatus for visualizing ultrasound data, in particular, during a cardiac ablation procedure. An M-mode ultrasound image of an object (23) being preferentially a heart of a person or a feature image of the object comprising features derived from the M-mode ultrasound image and a repetitive signal like an electrocardiography signal being indicative of a repetitive cycle in the image are provided. An image frames determination unit (13) determines image frames by temporally segmenting the provided image into image frames corresponding to different repetitive cycles based on the repetitive signal, wherein a display (24) displays the image frames temporally consecutively. Since the display shows these image frames temporally consecutively, a movie-like displaying of the ultrasound data is provided, which allows for a better observation of details and changes of the object, especially of changes in cardiac tissue during an ablation procedure.

    Abstract: An ultrasound transducer unit (12), e.g. probe, is configured with a friction guiding function. The transducer unit (12) comprises a vibration generating means (20) at a tissue contact area, and has means for sensing a sliding direction of the transducer unit across a tissue surface (42) at which the contact area is incident. The tissue surface may be an external skin surface or an internal tissue surface, e.g. in case of a catheter. A control means is operable to control the vibration of the vibration generator to adjust a level of friction at the tissue contact area. This is used by the control means to implement a friction guiding function for guiding a user in sliding the unit across the incident surface, e.g. toward a target location (44), based on controlling the friction level responsive to sensed sliding direction, for instance providing lower friction when sliding is in a target direction, while leaving other directions with relative higher frictional resistance.
