Appl. No.:

17/356699

Inventors:

Carolyn M Salafia - Larchmont NY, US

International Classification:

G06T 7/00
G01N 1/30
G16H 50/20
G16H 50/30
G16H 30/40

Abstract:

The present invention teaches a method of predicting the potential for manifestation of various medical conditions by analyzing human placenta comprising and including determining the need for early monitoring, intervention or potential treatment for medical conditions likely to manifest as a child grows older and investigating the potential for various medical conditions. The method includes selecting and identifying a sample of the placenta to analyze by algorithms and preparing the sample to be analyzed. The sample is captured by obtaining a three-dimensional digital image of the chorionic surface of the sample by a selected capturing device. The physician corrects for errors in the digital image and loads the data into a computer for analysis. The digital image data is analyzed using algorithms to determine the vascular structure of the placenta, which is interpreted and analyzed to determine the potential for manifestation of various medical conditions.

Abstract:

The present invention teaches a method of predicting the potential for manifestation of various medical conditions by analyzing human placenta. The method contemplates and includes determining the need for early monitoring, intervention or potential treatment for medical conditions likely to manifest as a child grows older and investigating the potential for various medical conditions. The method includes selecting and identifying a sample of the placenta to analyze by computer applied mathematical algorithms and preparing the placental sample to be analyzed by various procedures. Then the placental sample is captured by obtaining a three-dimensional digital image of the chorionic surface of the placental sample by use of a selected capturing device. The digital image is corrected for errors inherent in digital image acquisition and the resultant image data is loaded into a computer for analysis. The computer performs an analysis on the corrected digital image data using one or more algorithms to determine the vascular structure of the placenta, and the resultant data is interpreted and analyzed to determine the potential for manifestation of various medical conditions.

Inventors:

Carolyn M Salafia - Larchmont NY, US

International Classification:

G06T 7/00

Abstract:

A method for analyzing the placenta comprising: selecting one or more placental samples to be analyzed; preparing a histology slide of tissue taken from said placental sample, staining the histology slide using an immunohistochemistry stain, obtaining a digital image of the stained slide; and performing an automated computer analysis on the digital image, wherein the number of trophoblast stromal inclusions is measured.
