SYSTEMS, METHODS, AND COMPUTER-READABLE MEDIA FOR TIME LAPSE IMAGE COMPARISON IN GENETIC DISORDER ANALYSIS

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are disclosed for identifying when a subject is likely to be affected by a medical condition. For example, at least one processor may be configured to receive information reflective of an external soft tissue image of the subject. The processor may also be configured to perform an evaluation of the external soft tissue image information and to generate evaluation result information based, at least in part, on the evaluation. The processor may also be configured to predict a likelihood that the subject is affected by the medical condition based, at least in part, on the evaluation result information.

主权项

1. An electronic system for determining from a series of pixels in time-lapse images of external cranio-facial soft tissue, whether a subject is likely to be affected by a genetic disorder, the electronic system comprising:
at least one memory for storing computer-executable instructions; and at least one processor configured to execute the stored instructions to:
receive first pixel information reflective of a first external soft tissue image of the subject recorded at a first time, the first pixel information being derived from a relationship between pixels in a first group of pixels in the first external soft tissue image;analyze a relationship between the pixels in the first group of pixels;receive second pixel information reflective of a second external soft tissue image of the subject recorded at a second time, the second pixel information being derived from a relationship between pixels in a second group of pixels in the second external soft tissue image;analyze a relationship between the pixels in the second group of pixels;determine a time lapse between an original capture of the first external soft tissue image and an original capture of the second external soft tissue image;compare, based on the determined time lapse, the analysis of the first pixel information with the analysis of the second pixel information; andpredict, based on the time lapse and the comparison of the first pixel information and the second pixel information, a likelihood that the subject is affected by the genetic disorder.
