PREDICTIVE USE OF QUANTITATIVE IMAGING
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- identifying at least two quantitative measurements of a subject, at least one of the at least two quantitative measurement taken using ultrasound imaging, the at least two quantitative measurements included as part of quantitative information of the subject gathered based on the ultrasound imaging;
comparing one of the at least two quantitative measurements to a first predetermined standard to determine a first initial value, the first predetermined standard included as part of ancillary information to the quantitative information of the subject and falling within a first range of quantities;
comparing another of the at least two quantitative measurements to a second predetermined standard to determine a second initial value, the second predetermined standard included as part of the ancillary information to the quantitative information of the subject and falling within a second range of quantities; and
correlating the quantitative information with the ancillary information using the first initial value and the second initial value to determine a final value that is used in predicting a disease state of the subject.

Abstract
The present disclosure provides systems and methods for predicting a disease state of a subject using ultrasound imaging and ancillary information to the ultrasound imaging. At least two quantitative measurements of a subject, including at least one measurement taken using ultrasound imaging, as part of quantified information can be identified. One of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a first predetermined standard, included as part of ancillary information to the quantified information, in order to identify a first initial value. Further, another of the quantitative measurements can be compared to a second predetermined standard, included as part of the ancillary information, in order to identify a second initial value. Subsequently, the quantitative information can be correlated with the ancillary information using the first initial value and the second initial value to determine a final value that is predictive of a disease state of the subject.
