Proposed concepts thus aim to provide schemes, solutions, concept, designs, methods and systems pertaining to dynamically determining a color mapping function for Doppler data of regurgitant flow in a cardiac valve. In particular, embodiments aim to provide a method for dynamically determining a color mapping function for Doppler data of regurgitant flow in a cardiac valve by obtaining and processing Doppler data comprising at least two Doppler data frames representing regurgitant flow associated with an orifice in a cardiac valve, and a blood flow model of the regurgitant flow. In other words, it is proposed that, for each Doppler data frame of the Doppler data, by determining a region of interest in the blood flow model based on the blood flow model and the color map, a target iso-velocity surface of the model can be determined, and a color mapping function for said Doppler data frame can be determined based on this target iso-velocity surface.
Disclosed concepts aim to provide schemes, solutions, concepts, designs, methods, and systems pertaining to improved prediction of gestational weight gain (GWG). Specifically, a data series describing weight of the pregnant subject at least twice per day (e.g., after waking up, and before going to sleep) during an early stage of pregnancy (e.g., during the first 30 days of pregnancy, or during the first trimester) is used to determine a historic GWG curve of the subject. As energy balance in pregnancy is defined as energy intake equal to energy expenditure plus dynamic energy storage, a specific GWG prediction model is used to generate the historic GWG curve, rather than a generic weight gain model. From the historic GWG curve, a future GWG value of the subject may be predicted. This future GWG value may be used to assess a pregnancy risk score, and/or to generate lifestyle recommendations for the subject.

The position(s) and/or direction(s) at which light is output from the oral care device are controllable using the active light steering system.
Image processing methods are provided for processing photon-counting CT images. The processing involves receiving denoised photon-counting CT image data and, for each image voxel, obtaining normal distribution mean and deviation values. Noise parameter images are generated from these per-voxel mean and deviation values and the denoised photon-counting CT image data is compressed. During decompression, per-voxel mean and deviation noise values are obtained so that pervoxel noise is generated in the image domain. The per-voxel noise is applied to the decompressed denoised photon-counting CT image.

Disclosed concepts provide improved security of a deployed neural network (i.e. improved security during inferencing of a neural network), in particular against membership inference attacks. Specifically, a data scrambler and a descrambling layer are provided. The data scrambler receives an input from an entity (e.g., a user) and only scrambles the input if the entity is authenticated and authorized. The descrambling layer is attached to the deployed neural network, and descrambles the input so that the neural network may provide a correct output corresponding to the initial (unscrambled) input from the entity. Of course, if the entity is not authenticated and/or authorized, then the input will not be scrambled and so the descrambling layer will provide an incorrect input to the neural network. Accordingly, unauthenticated, or unauthorized entities will not receive the correct output corresponding to the input from the entity from the deployed neural network (as the input provided by such entities will not be scrambled by the data scrambler).
