A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US12002203B2) outlines a system designed to assess the likelihood of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension within a patient. The system utilizes an application program stored in memory and executed by a processor to analyze characteristics indicative of the condition within imaging studies of the patient. This involves modifying images from the initial set to identify anatomical structures in the cardiac region, characteristics of the pulmonary vasculature, and chronic abnormalities in the lungs that may suggest the presence of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. By assessing these characteristics and computing a likelihood score, the system aims to provide valuable insights into the patient's condition.

The patent details the use of machine learning algorithms to process images and identify target organs like the heart and lungs within the imaging study. Additionally, the system employs various analysis algorithms trained via machine learning to segment images, measure dimensions of anatomical structures, identify perfusion abnormalities in the lungs, and detect vascular abnormalities. By utilizing these advanced technologies, the system can generate a confidence weighting for each characteristic and compute an overall score representing the likelihood of chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Furthermore, the system includes a display screen for generating reports on the patient's condition based on the assessment, providing healthcare professionals with valuable information for diagnosis and treatment planning.
