Deep image classification of medical images

Abstract

Methods, systems, and storage components for utilizing a deep neural network(s) for classifying at least one medical image. A deep neural network (DNN) can be configured by an image processing component to contain at least one revived neuron, where the revived neuron has an adjusted value based on a focus-learning function that is transferred to the DNN by the image processing component, where the focus-learning function provides the adjustment by updating the DNN with data that contains a corrected classification with respect to at least one normal image sample derived from a medical image, and where the correction is based on the focus-learning function comparing an annotation associated with an abnormal image sample derived from the medical image to another annotation associated with the at least one normal image.
