US Patent Issued to Elekta on Sept. 8 for "Jointly trained machine learning models for automatic contouring in radiotherapy applications" (Canadian Inventors)

ALEXANDRIA, Va., Sept. 8 -- United States Patent no. 12,728,284, issued on Sept. 8, was assigned to Elekta LTD. (Montreal).

"Jointly trained machine learning models for automatic contouring in radiotherapy applications" was invented by Philip P. Novosad (Montreal) and Silvain Beriault (Longueuil, Canada).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "Joint training techniques to train multiple models across clinical datasets for automatic contouring. Rather than using separate deep neural networks that are trained independently for each different dataset (e.g., a different image contrast or anatomy), joint training can be used to train multiple models simultaneously across clinical datasets for automatic cont...
