Abstract

A method for detecting and locating a lesion in a medical image is provided. A target medical image of a lesion is obtained and input into a deep learning model to obtain a target sequence. A first feature map output from the last convolution layer in the deep learning model is extracted. A weight value of each network unit corresponding to each preset lesion type in a fully connected layer is extracted. For each preset lesion type, a fusion feature map is calculated according to the first feature map and the corresponding weight value and resampled to the size of the target medical image to generate a generic activation map. The maximum connected area in each generic activation map is determined, and a mark border surrounding the maximum connected area is created. A mark border corresponding to each preset lesion type is added to the target medical image.
