Lunit EP4384945A1, AI Medical Image Translation Neural Network Patent
Summary
The EPO published patent application EP4384945A1, filed by Lunit International Limited, covering a system and method for AI-based medical image translation using neural networks (G06N 3/04, G06N 3/08) applied to radiological images (A61B 6/00, G16H 30/40). The patent protects methods for translating medical images between modalities using deep learning techniques including image enhancement (G06T 5/00).
What changed
The EPO published Lunit International Limited's patent application EP4384945A1, covering neural network-based systems and methods for translating medical images. The claimed invention utilizes deep learning architectures (G06N 3/04, G06N 3/08) to process and translate radiological images across modalities (A61B 6/00) with enhanced image processing (G06T 5/00) for standardized medical image representation (G16H 30/40). The A1 publication signifies the application has entered the formal examination phase and is publicly available.
Medical imaging companies, healthcare AI developers, and diagnostics manufacturers operating in EPC contracting states should review this publication for potential freedom-to-operate implications. Competitors developing similar AI-based medical image translation or enhancement systems should assess whether their products fall within the scope of the 26 published claims before commercial launch in Europe.
What to do next
- Monitor for EPO patent register updates affecting EP4384945A1
- Conduct freedom-to-operate searches before commercializing AI medical imaging products in Europe
- Review internal IP portfolios for potential overlap with the published claims
