A computer-implemented method and system are for parametrizing a function including a processing algorithm and a representation generator, the representation generator being designed to generate at least one representation. In an embodiment, the method includes using an optimization algorithm to determine the processing algorithm and the at least one representation parametrization. The optimization algorithm optimizes a measure for the performance of the processing algorithm when operating on a set of training representations generated by applying the representation generator to training medical image datasets, by varying on the one hand the content of the at least one representation parametrization and/or the number of used representation parametrizations and on the other hand the processing algorithm and the algorithm parameters.

A method is for providing a classification explanation. The method includes receiving an acquired medical image corresponding to an examination volume; and receiving or determining an actual classification value. The actual classification value classifies an anatomical structure within the acquired medical image. The method further includes receiving or determining a first classification value being different from the actual classification value, the first classification value being a potential classification value of the anatomical structure within the acquired medical image; applying a first generative function to the acquired medical image to generate a first synthetic image, the first generative function being based on the first classification value, and being configured to modify the anatomical structure to exhibit the first classification value; and providing a visualization based on the acquired medical image and the first synthetic image. Systems and computer programs are further for providing a classification explanation and/or generative functions.
