ALEXANDRIA, Va., Nov. 11 -- United States Patent no. 12,469,132, issued on Nov. 11, was assigned to Acer Inc. (New Taipei, Taiwan).
"Method and electronic device for evaluating osteoporosis" was invented by Liang-Yu Ke (New Taipei, Taiwan).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A method and an electronic device are used to estimate osteoporosis. The method includes the following steps. An X-ray image is obtained. The X-ray image is input into a first convolutional neural network model to generate a bone probability heatmap of the X-ray image. A bone density estimation value is estimated based on the bone probability heatmap, the X-ray image, and a second convolutional neural network model."
