System and method for estimating extracorporeal blood volume in a physical sample
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for estimating extracorporeal fluids from a patient, the method comprising:
- extracting a feature from an image of a first physical sample, wherein the first physical sample comprises at least one extracorporeal fluid;
tagging at least a portion of the image of the first physical sample with a fluid volume indicator based on the extracted feature;
estimating a first extracorporeal fluid volume in at least a portion of the first physical sample based on the fluid volume indicator; and
estimating a second extracorporeal fluid volume in a second physical sample based at least in part on a weight or mass of the second physical sample.

Abstract
One method for estimating the extracorporeal blood volume in a portion of a physical sample includes: extracting a feature from a portion of an image of the sample; tagging the portion of the image of the sample with a blood volume indicator according to the extracted feature; and estimating the extracorporeal blood volume in at least the portion of the physical sample, associated with the portion of the image of the sample, according to the blood volume indicator.
