Abstract

A method for characterizing anatomical features includes receiving scanned data and image data corresponding to a subject. The scanned data comprises sinogram data. The method further includes identifying a first region in an image of the image data corresponding to a region of interest. The method also includes determining a second region in the scanned data. The second region corresponds to the first region. The method further includes identifying a sinogram trace corresponding to the region of interest. The sinogram trace comprises sinogram data present within the second region. The method includes determining a data feature of the subject based on the sinogram trace and a deep learning network. The method also includes determining a diagnostic condition corresponding to a medical condition of the subject based on the data feature.
