DEVICE AND METHOD FOR ANALYSIS OF MEDICAL IMAGES Russian patent published in 2023 - IPC A61B5/00 G16H50/20 G06F30/27 

FIELD: image processing.

SUBSTANCE: device and method for determining pathology based on the analysis of medical images. A device is proposed that contains a unit for receiving data to be processed containing a medical image; a unit for preparing an image contained in the data to be processed for use by the neural network through performing one or more preliminary transformations on it; a block for predicting the presence or absence of pathology in an image using this neural network; and a block for transmitting the processing result to the device that requested data processing, wherein this neural network is pre-trained to predict the presence or absence of pathology, as well as the gender and age of the patient, and is configured to analyze only the prepared image during operation without using data on the patient’s gender and age shown in this image.

EFFECT: increased accuracy of automatic determination of the probability of pathology, the ability to use incompletely labeled data sets or incorrectly labeled data sets.
