A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11887304B2) outlines a computer-implemented method and system for analyzing images of pathology specimens using artificial intelligence (AI) technology. The method involves determining a salient region overlay for digitized images of pathology specimens, representing this overlay with super-pixels and scores, suppressing non-salient regions based on diagnostic values, and normalizing the overlay to indicate the presence of salient features in each pixel. Additionally, the method includes converting the overlay into a tissue map, detecting salient features using AI, alerting users when the overlay is available, and resizing it to match the original image size.

The system described in the patent includes at least one memory storing instructions and a processor executing these instructions to perform various operations. These operations involve determining the salient region overlay, suppressing non-salient regions, normalizing the overlay, and representing it through binary and semantic segmentation to indicate the presence and probability of salient features in each pixel. The system also includes features such as developing a pipeline for archiving patient data, converting the overlay into a tissue map, and utilizing machine learning to produce tissue visualizations. Overall, the patent highlights a sophisticated method and system for analyzing pathology specimen images using AI technology, offering a comprehensive approach to identifying and visualizing salient features for diagnostic purposes.
