Mass spectrometry retrieving of stray samples

A computing system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform:
• obtaining raw mass spectrometry data from samples;
• generating an image representation from the raw mass spectrometry data, wherein the image representation indicates frequencies of local peaks from the samples;
• obtaining windows, wherein each window contains a different portion of signals from the raw mass spectrometry data;
• generating windowed plots corresponding to each of the windows;
• determining whether to expand each of the windows, wherein expanding of each of the windows comprises generating offset plots that are offset from each of the windowed plots, wherein the determining of whether to expand each the windows is based on a presence or absence of an additional local peak signal within each of the offset plots, wherein the additional local peak signal is absent from a corresponding windowed plot;
• in response to determining to expand a particular window:
• expanding the particular window based on the determination;
• and
• retrieving information within an expanded particular window;
• and
• in response to determining not to expand the particular window:
• retrieving information within the particular window;
• obtaining, from the retrieved information within the expanded particular window or the particular window, one or more constituents or potential constituents of the samples;
• and
• selectively outputting or generating a medical treatment based on the one or more constituents, wherein the medical treatment comprises restoring a level of the one or more constituents to a normal level.

A non-transitory storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor of a computing system, cause the computing system to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining raw mass spectrometry data from samples;
• generating an image representation from the raw mass spectrometry data, wherein the image representation indicates frequencies of local peaks from the samples;
• obtaining windows, wherein each window contains a different portion of signals from the raw mass spectrometry data;
• generating windowed plots corresponding to each of the windows;
• determining whether to expand each of the windows, wherein expanding of the windows comprises generating offset plots that are offset from each of the windowed plots, wherein the determining of whether to expand each of the windows is based on a presence or absence of an additional local peak signal upon expansion of each of the windows, wherein the additional local peak signal is absent from a corresponding windowed plot;
• in response to determining to expand a particular window:
• expanding the particular window based on the determination;
• and
• retrieving information within an expanded particular window;
• and
• in response to determining not to expand the particular window:
• retrieving information within an unexpanded window;
• obtaining, from the retrieved information within the expanded particular window or the particular window, one or more constituents or potential constituents of the samples;
• and
• selectively outputting or generating a medical treatment based on the one or more constituents, wherein the medical treatment comprises restoring a level of the one or more constituents to a normal level.
