A patent application (Publication Number: US20240023938A1) describes a method and system for predicting the presence or progression of a disease state in a subject using ultrasound imaging. The method involves identifying qualitative measurements of the subject through ultrasound imaging, comparing these measurements to predetermined standards, and correlating them with previous disease measurements to determine a final value for disease prediction. The system includes processors and computer-readable storage medium with instructions to perform these operations, along with utilizing other imaging modalities and machine-learning algorithms for accurate predictions.

Furthermore, the method and system outlined in the patent application allow for the use of various ultrasound techniques such as contrast-enhanced ultrasound, photo-acoustic imaging, and acoustic radiation force impulse imaging to gather qualitative and quantitative measurements. Additionally, measurements from core biopsies, blood pressure, metabolic rate, and genetic screening can be incorporated into the prediction process. The system also enables the use of raw data and machine-learning algorithms like decision tree learning and artificial neural networks to enhance the accuracy of disease state predictions. Overall, the patent application presents a comprehensive approach to leveraging ultrasound imaging and ancillary information for effective disease prediction in subjects, showcasing the potential for advanced diagnostic tools in healthcare.
