Three-dimensional delineation of tumor boundaries via supervised machine learning algorithms and augmented reality

Abstract

Techniques that facilitate three-dimensional (3D) delineation of tumor boundaries via one or more supervised machine learning algorithms are provided. An example embodiment includes a computer-implemented method that includes: extracting, by a computing system operatively coupled to a processor, one or more feature vectors from a time-series evolution of fluorescence distribution observed at a section of bodily tissue of interest, wherein the one or more feature vectors represent a physical model describing on-tissue dye dynamics of the section of bodily tissue; and generating, by the computing system, a classification attribute for the section of bodily tissue represented by the one or more feature vectors, wherein a pre-trained classifier designates the section of bodily tissue as a biopsy or a non-biopsy candidate through execution of the one or more supervised machine learning algorithms.
