Abstract
Embodiments of the present systems and methods may provide techniques that are applicable to a variety of imaging modalities and that utilize prior knowledge of the dynamics of a physiological system to analytically generate augmented samples for machine learning. For example, in an embodiment, a method implemented in a computer comprising a processor, memory accessible by the processor, and computer program instructions stored in the memory and executable by the processor, the method may comprise generating a transform for an image of tissue based on deformation of the tissue under compression, obtaining an image of tissue using an imaging modality, and generating an output image by transforming the image of the tissue using the transform.
