Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting lung abnormalities is provided. The method includes the steps of: acquiring a chest image of a subject; labeling one or more regions of interest (ROIs) in the chest image; segmenting a fine-grained boundary of each of the labeled ROIs; generating a plurality of output matrixes for each of the segmented ROIs; sorting a plurality of prediction scores obtained in the output matrixes, and generating a plurality of recommendations of potential abnormalities for each of the ROIs; and outputting the recommendations, A smart imagery framing and truthing (SIFT) system for implementing the method is also provided.
