Abstract
Embodiments related to methods of use of an image analysis system for identifying residual cancer cells after surgery are disclosed. In some embodiments, a patient-specific threshold used to detect abnormal cells in a surgical site can be determined. A medical imaging device can be configured to produce a set of images of an anatomy of a patient. An image analysis system, comprising one or more processors, can be configured to receive the set of images, and analyze the set of images to determine a patient-specific threshold to use to detect abnormal tissue of the patient.
Claims21
A system for determining a patient-specific threshold used to detect abnormal cells, the system comprising:
- a medical imaging device configured to produce a set of images of an anatomy of a patient;
- an image analysis system comprising one or more processors configured to:
- receive the set of images;
- and
- analyze the set of images to determine a patient-specific threshold to use to detect abnormal tissue of the patient.
A computer-implemented method for determining a patient-specific threshold used to detect abnormal cells, the method comprising:
- receiving a set of images of an anatomy of a patient;
- and
- analyzing the set of images to determine a patient-specific threshold to use to detect abnormal tissue of the patient.
At least one non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising computer-executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of an image analysis system configured to collect one or more images, perform a method to calculate a threshold used to detect abnormal cells, the method comprising:
- receiving a set of images of an anatomy of a patient;
- and
- analyzing the set of images to determine a patient-specific threshold to use to detect abnormal tissue of the patient.
