A method and system for treating a patient is described. The method includes: (i) receiving a sample from a patient, the sample including one or more cancer cells; (ii) obtaining, using an imaging device, one or more images of the cancer cells; (iii) processing, using an imaging processor, the one or more images to extract one or more image coefficients; (iv) mapping, using a trained classifier, the one or more image coefficients to a cancer cell type; (v) identifying, based on mapping the one or more image coefficients to a cancer cell type, one or more cancer cell types in the sample; (vi) identifying, based on the identified one or more cancer cell types in the sample, a course of treatment specific to the one or more cancer cell types; and (vii) treating the patient using the identified course of treatment.

Mapping image signatures of cancer cells to genetic signatures

An apparatus and related method for supporting X-ray imaging. The apparatus comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving an X-radiation scatter measurement obtained by an X-ray sensor (SX) during operation of an X-ray imager (XI) for imaging a first object (PAT). A predictor component (PC) is configured to predict, based on said measurement, whether or not: i) a second object (P) is present, or ii) there is sufficient X-ray exposure of said first object (PAT). The apparatus comprises an output interface (OUT) for outputting a predictor signal indicative of an outcome of said prediction.

Scattered X-ray detection to detect misuse and prevent harm

An apparatus (M) and related method for supporting X-ray imaging. The apparatus comprises an input interface (IN) for receiving a request to perform an X-ray exposure with an X-ray source (XR) of an X-ray imager (XI) to image an object (PAT). A compliance checker (CC) of the apparatus (M) is configured to check said request against an imaging safety protocol for said object to produce a safety compliance result. A safety enforcer (SE) of the apparatus is configured to issue, based on the safety compliance result, i) an alert signal and/or ii) a control signal to initiate a safety action that at least affect an impact of the requested X-ray exposure on the object.

X-ray misuse protection

There is provided a method and apparatus for calibrating measurements made using a medical monitoring device. A conversion factor may be obtained including a first cross correlation that describes the correlation between measurements made using a first medical monitoring device and measurements made using a second medical monitoring device. The first conversion factor may then be used to convert measurements from the first medical monitoring device onto the same scale as measurements from the second medical monitoring device.
