The present disclosure provides a computer-implemented method, a device, and a computer program product using a user-guided domain adaptation (UGDA) architecture. The method includes training a combined model using a source image dataset by minimizing a supervised loss of the combined model to obtain first sharing weights for a first FCN and second sharing weights for a second FCN; training a discriminator by inputting extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for each of the source image dataset and a target image dataset and by minimizing a discriminator loss to obtain discriminator weights; and finetuning the combined model by predicting extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for the target image dataset to fool the discriminator by matching a distribution of the extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for the target image dataset with a distribution of the extreme-point/mask prediction pairs for the source image dataset.

The present disclosure describes a computer-implemented method for processing clinical three-dimensional image. The method includes training a fully supervised segmentation model using a labelled image dataset containing images for a disease at a predefined set of contrast phases or modalities, allow the segmentation model to segment images at the predefined set of contrast phases or modalities; finetuning the fully supervised segmentation model through co-heterogenous training and adversarial domain adaptation (ADA) using an unlabelled image dataset containing clinical multi-phase or multi-modality image data, to allow the segmentation model to segment images at contrast phases or modalities other than the predefined set of contrast phases or modalities; and further finetuning the fully supervised segmentation model using domain-specific pseudo labelling to identify pathological regions missed by the segmentation model.

Systems and methods for characterizing a region of interest (ROI) in a medical image are provided. An exemplary system may include a memory storing instructions and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory to execute the instructions which, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may include detecting one or more candidate ROIs from the medical image using a three-dimensional (3D) machine learning network. The operations may also include determining a key slice for each candidate ROI. The operations may further include selecting a primary ROI from the one or more candidate ROIs based on the respective key slices. In addition, the operations may include classifying the primary ROI into one of a plurality of categories using a texture-based classifier based on the key slice corresponding to the primary ROI.
