Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for evaluating the normality of a medical condition of a patient based on a medical image. A medical image segmentation receives a medical image and segments the medical image to generate an extracted contour representing an anatomical feature. The medical image segmentation engine correlates the extracted contour with a template shape corresponding to the anatomical feature. A feature extraction engine extracts one or more features from a region of the medical image corresponding to the template shape. A normality classification engine performs a normality classification operation on the extracted one or more features to generate a normality score for the medical image and outputs the normality score to a computing device.
