Abstract
Systems and methods for diagnosing a patient condition include a medical imaging device for generating an anatomical image. A reconstructor reconstructs the anatomical image by reconstructing portions of the anatomical image to be a healthy representation of the portions and merging the portions into the anatomical image to generate a reconstructed image. A contrastor contrasts the anatomical image with the reconstructed image to generate an anomaly map indicating locations of difference between the anatomical image and the reconstructed image. An anomaly tagging device tags the locations of difference as anomalies corresponding to anatomical abnormalities in the anatomical image, and a display displays the anatomical image with tags corresponding to the anatomical abnormalities.
