USPTO Patent: Convert Chest Radiology Data to Numerical Vectors
Summary
The USPTO has published a patent application detailing a method and device for converting chest radiology data into numerical vectors using deep learning algorithms. This technology aims to analyze, predict, or diagnose diseases based on extracted anatomical and disease-related features from the data.
What changed
This document is a patent application (US20260088187A1) filed by the USPTO, describing a novel method and device for disease analysis. The core innovation involves converting chest radiology data into numerical vectors using deep learning, which are then used for disease-related analysis, prediction, or diagnosis. The patent focuses on structured data that contextually includes anatomical features and disease-associated elements extracted from the radiology images.
As this is a patent application, it does not impose direct regulatory obligations or compliance deadlines on healthcare providers or medical device manufacturers. However, it signifies a technological advancement in health informatics that may influence future product development, diagnostic tools, and research in disease analysis. Companies operating in this space should be aware of this patented technology for potential licensing or competitive landscape analysis.
