Introduction

Rico Brendtke is an inventor based in Erlangen, Germany, associated with Siemens Healthineers AG. His patent work concerns computer-assisted medical diagnosis, particularly the use of artificial intelligence to support image classification and diagnostic decision-making.

Latest Patents

Brendtke is associated with 1 patent, titled “Computer-Assisted Medical Diagnosis System and Method.” The invention describes a computer-implemented diagnostic-assistance system that uses an artificial neural network to classify medical images into defined classes. A confidence module generates a confidence measure for each classified image, and a tagging module combines those measures to determine whether the patient’s diagnostic signal is conclusive or inconclusive.

When the signal is conclusive, the system releases the classification result. When it is inconclusive, the system triggers additional diagnostic analysis. This approach is designed to make the handling of uncertain image-based results part of the diagnostic workflow.

Career Highlights

The available information connects Brendtke’s patent activity with Siemens Healthineers AG and medical diagnostic technology. His listed invention applies artificial intelligence and confidence assessment to help determine when a classification result can be released and when further analysis is needed.
