Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics researchers awarded patent

A team of researchers from the Center for Computational Imaging and Personalized Diagnostics (CCIPD) and University Hospitals were awarded a patent by the U.S. government.

Led by Anant Madabhushi, the F. Alex Nason Professor II of Biomedical Engineering, the team was issued a patent in radiomics-based decision support for disease characterization and treatment response.

The team has developed a novel methodology for classifying a region of tissue using textural analysis. A prognosis or treatment plan may be provided based on the classification of the image.
