Abstract
A system and method for a quantitative evaluation of a breast health of a pregnant and lactating woman for clinical management of a breast feeding by performing (i) receiving a thermal image of a breast region of the pregnant and lactating woman, (ii) automatically determine network structures associated with ductal or vascular thermal patterns of the pregnant and lactating woman by analysing the thermal images of the pregnant and lactating woman, (iii) estimate quantitative parameters corresponding to the network structures associated with the ductal or vascular thermal patterns using the machine learning model and (iv) generate a breast health report with the estimated quantitative parameters and the schematics of vascular network to enable clinical management of breastfeeding.
