Hemorrhage identification from brain images with treatment guidance
Summary
USPTO published patent application US20260090841A1 by inventors Ahmed Kashkoush and Mark Bain for a system identifying brain hemorrhages from medical images and generating treatment guidance. The invention uses anatomical landmarks to normalize hemorrhage maps and compare them against dissimilarity heat maps to recommend treatment plans. The application (No. 19342833) was filed September 29, 2025 and published April 2, 2026.
What changed
The patent application describes a system for identifying hemorrhage regions in brain images and generating treatment recommendations. The invention receives brain images, identifies anatomical landmarks, detects hemorrhage regions, generates normalized hemorrhage maps based on those landmarks, and creates spatial representations by comparing normalized maps to dissimilarity heat maps. Based on the spatial representation, the system determines a treatment plan for the patient. The CPC classifications indicate applications in computer-aided surgery (A61B 34/10), medical imaging processing (G06T), and health informatics (G16H 50/20).
This patent publication is informational only and does not impose regulatory obligations. Medical device companies developing AI-assisted diagnostic imaging products should review the claims to assess potential overlap with proprietary technology. Technology companies in health AI should conduct freedom-to-operate analyses. Healthcare providers using AI for stroke or hemorrhage diagnosis should monitor for future licensed products implementing these methods. No immediate compliance action is required.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR HEMORRHAGE IDENTIFICATION AND DETERMINATION OF FUNCTIONAL OUTCOME AND TREATMENT
Application US20260090841A1 Kind: A1 Apr 02, 2026
Inventors
Ahmed Kashkoush, Mark Bain
Abstract
One or more computing devices, systems and/or methods are provided. In some examples, one or more images of a brain of a patient may be received. One or more anatomic landmarks in the one or more images may be determined. A hemorrhage region in the one or more images may be identified. A normalized hemorrhage map indicative of the hemorrhage region may be generated based upon the one or more anatomic landmarks and the hemorrhage region in the one or more images. A spatial representation of the hemorrhage region may be generated based upon a comparison of the normalized hemorrhage map to a dissimilarity heat map. A treatment plan for the patient may be determined based upon the spatial representation of the hemorrhage region.
