Abstract

A system for automated image analysis includes an imaging device configured to capture input data of a patient, a processor, and a memory coupled to the processor. The memory has instructions stored thereon, which when executed by the processor, cause the system to: capture input data from the imaging device, the input data including a three-dimensional (3D) image of a portion of a patient; receive the input data from the imaging device; generate a first 3D mask based on the input data; generate a second 3D mask based on the first 3D mask; and determine a diagnostic prediction based on the first 3D mask and the second 3D mask. Generating the second 3D mask includes predicting a plurality of two-dimensional (2D) slices based on the first 3D mask, such that each 2D slice of the plurality of 2D slices is an axial cross-section of the first 3D mask.
