Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Enhancing Angiograms", for Approval (USPTO 20240404031).

Researchers Auvray, Florent, and Popoff have submitted a patent application for a device aimed at enhancing angiograms, particularly focusing on the visualization of complex vascular structures like the coronary artery tree. The device utilizes data input, processing, and output interfaces to segment angiographic images, select branches of interest, estimate attenuation values, and generate corrected angiograms with reduced clutter. By improving the clarity and readability of angiograms, this innovation aims to assist clinicians in making accurate diagnoses. The patent application outlines the technical details and methods involved in enhancing angiograms, emphasizing the use of deep learning procedures and neural networks for semantic segmentation and attenuation estimation.
