Patent Issued for Liver cancer detection (USPTO 12009090).

A patent has been issued to Hepatiq Inc. for a system and method of detecting liver cancer using image data obtained from a functional scanner. The system involves determining a region of interest corresponding to the liver, identifying a suspected tumor mass within that region, and tracking the shape of the tumor over time to confirm its presence. The system can also determine the volume of the tumor and assess organ function parameters. This technology aims to improve the early detection and monitoring of liver cancer, which is a life-threatening disease. [Extracted from the article]
