Abstract
There is provided a computer implemented method for localizing target anatomical regions of interest (ROI) of a target individual, comprising: uniformly sub-sampling a plurality of 2D images having sequential index numbers within a 3D anatomical volume, feeding the plurality of sampled 2D images into a classifier for outputting a plurality of values on a normalized anatomical scale, fitting a linear model to the plurality of values and corresponding sequential index numbers, mapping by the linear model, the plurality of 2D images to the normalized anatomical scale, receiving an indication of at least one target anatomical ROI of a target individual, wherein each target anatomical ROI is mapped to the normalized anatomical scale, and providing a sub-set of the plurality of 2D images having values of the normalized anatomical scale corresponding to the received at least one target anatomical ROI.
