Abstract
A system includes a microscope configured to magnify a pathology sample, a camera positioned to record magnified pathology images from the microscope, and a display configured to show the magnified pathology images. A processing apparatus is coupled to the camera, and the display, and the processing apparatus includes instructions that when executed by the processing apparatus cause the system to perform operations, including: identifying, using a machine learning algorithm, one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images; and alerting, using the display, a user of the microscope to the one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images while the pathology sample is being magnified with the microscope.
Claims20
A system, comprising:
- a microscope configured to magnify a pathology sample;
- a camera positioned to record magnified pathology images from the microscope;
- a display configured to show the magnified pathology images;
- and
- a processing apparatus coupled to the camera and the display, wherein the processing apparatus includes a machine learning algorithm disposed in logic, and wherein the processing apparatus includes instructions that when executed by the processing apparatus cause the system to perform operations, including:
- identifying, using the machine learning algorithm, one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images;
- and
- alerting, using the display, a user of the microscope to the one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images while the pathology sample is being magnified with the microscope, wherein alerting the user includes informing the user of a diagnosis, including outputting a confidence interval from the machine learning algorithm for the diagnosis, associated with a structure in the one or more regions of interest.
A method, comprising:
- receiving, with a processing apparatus, magnified pathology images from a camera;
- identifying, using the processing apparatus, one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images, wherein the processing apparatus includes a machine learning algorithm disposed in logic to identify the one or more regions of interest;
- and
- outputting a diagnosis, including a confidence interval for the diagnosis from the machine learning algorithm, of a structure associated with the one or more regions of interest.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed by a processing apparatus, cause the processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving, with the processing apparatus, magnified pathology images from a camera optically coupled to a microscope;
- identifying, using the processing apparatus, one or more regions of interest in the magnified pathology images, wherein the computer-readable storage medium includes a machine learning algorithm to identify the one or more regions of interest;
- and
- outputting a diagnosis, including a confidence interval for the diagnosis from the machine learning algorithm, associated with a structure in the one or more regions of interest.
