Described are techniques for uncertainty-aware anatomical landmark detection, using, for example, a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) anatomical landmark detection agent. For instance, a process can include generating one or more image features for an input medical image using a first sub-network of the anatomical landmark detection agent. A softmax layer of a second sub-network of the anatomical landmark detection agent can generate a plurality of discrete Q-value distributions for a set of allowable actions associated with movement of the agent within the medical image. An anatomical landmark location within the medical image can be predicted using the discrete Q-value distributions. An uncertainty can be determined for the predicted anatomical landmark location, based on an average full width half maximum (FWHM) calculated for the plurality of discrete Q-value distributions.
