US Patent Issued to Siemens Healthineers on July 29 for "Uncertainty estimation in medical imaging" (New Jersey Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 30 -- United States Patent no. 12,374,460, issued on July 29, was assigned to Siemens Healthineers AG (Forchheim, Germany).

"Uncertainty estimation in medical imaging" was invented by Jingya Liu (Harrison, N.J.), Bin Lou (Princeton, N.J.) and Ali Kamen (Skillman, N.J.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "For uncertainty estimation for a machine-learned model prediction in medical imaging, a distribution in latent space is sampled to determine uncertainty in machine-learned model prediction. For example, a segmentation is output by a machine-learned model in response to input of multi-parametric data. A latent space generated by the machine-learned model is used to estimate the...
