Abstract
Methods and systems for automatically triaging an image study of a patient generated as part of a medical imaging procedure. One system comprises a computing device including an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to receive, from a cognitive system applying a model developed using computer vision and machine learning techniques based on deep learning methodology to classify image studies, a classification assigned to the image study using the model, automatically generate a differential diagnosis for the patient based on the classification assigned by the model, and automatically adjust triaging of the image study based on the differential diagnosis.
