Abstract
An imaging system for inspection of a region of interest. The system includes a data processing and analyzing utility responsive to input data indicative of one or more images of a region of interest and identifying one or more objects therein. The data processing and analyzing utility includes a visualization processor utility and a computer aided detection processor connected to the visualization processor utility. The visualization processor utility is configured and operable for receiving the input image data, converting the received image data into a desired representation, and decomposing image data of said desired representation into different components. The computer aided detection processor is configured and operable for scoring said components according to one or more predetermined scoring schemes, and classifying the blobs and contours according to a degree of match with reference data indicative of one or more predetermined objects.
