Presented herein are systems and methods that provide for improved computer aided display and analysis of nuclear medicine images. In particular, in certain embodiments, the systems and methods described herein provide improvements to several image processing steps used for automated analysis of bone scan images for assessing cancer status of a patient. For example, improved approaches for image segmentation, hotspot detection, automated classification of hotspots as representing metastases, and computation of risk indices such as bone scan index (BSI) values are provided.

Systems and methods for automated and interactive analysis of bone scan images for detection of metastases

An analysis apparatus such as an ECG apparatus has a control unit which includes an artificial neural network for discovering signal-recording electrodes which are erroneously attached to a patient. At least one artificial neural network is taught by being fed measurement signals from both correctly recorded measurements and from erroneously recorded measurements. The artificial neural network is then able to identify erroneous attachments with great accuracy from recorded measurement signals.
