Researchers Submit Patent Application, "Apparatus And Method For Interlocking Lesion Locations Between A Guide Image And A 3d Tomosynthesis Images Composed Of A Plurality Of 3d Image Slices", for Approval (USPTO 20240249407).

A patent application has been submitted by inventors from South Korea for an apparatus and method that interlocks a lesion location between a guide image and 3D tomosynthesis images. The invention aims to improve cancer diagnosis by combining 2D medical images with 3D tomosynthesis images, allowing for more efficient reading of lesions. The apparatus includes a memory and processor that receive and display the guide image and 3D image slices, with the ability to change the displayed image to highlight a specific lesion. This technology has the potential to enhance tumor detection and improve early diagnosis of cancer. [Extracted from the article]
