Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Systems And Methods For Machine Learning Based Optimal Exposure Technique Prediction For Acquiring Mammographic Images", for Approval (USPTO 20240242820).

A patent application has been submitted by inventors Ashwini KSHIRSAGAR, Baorui REN, and Andrew P. SMITH for a system and method that uses machine learning to predict optimal exposure techniques for acquiring mammographic images. The system collects patient data, imaging data, and equipment-specific information to train a machine learning model. This model can then provide real-time optimal exposure technique parameters for a patient, which can be used to generate mammographic images. The goal of this technology is to improve the accuracy and efficiency of mammography screenings while minimizing radiation exposure for patients. The patent application was filed by Hologic Inc.
