Abstract

An example system includes a processor to train a convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect features, and train fully connected layers of the CNN to map detected features to semantic descriptors, based on a data set including one or more lesions. The processor is to also receive a medical image to be analyzed for lesions. The processor is to further extract feature maps from the medical image using the trained CNN. The processor is also to detect a region of interest via the trained CNN and generate a bounding box around the detected region of interest. The processor is to reduce a dimension of the region of interest based on the feature maps. The processor is to generate a semantic description of the region of interest via the trained fully connected layers.
