Abstract
There is provided a computer implemented method for detection of likelihood of malignancy in an anatomical image of a patient for treatment planning, comprising: receiving an anatomical image, feeding the anatomical image into a global component of a model trained to output a global classification label, feeding the anatomical image into a local component of the model trained to output a localized boundary, feeding the anatomical image patch-wise into a patch component of the model trained to output a patch level classification label, extracting a respective set of regions of interest (ROIs) from each one of the components, each ROI indicative of a region of the anatomical image likely to include an indication of malignancy, aggregating the ROIs from each one of the components into an aggregated set of ROIs, and feeding the aggregated set of ROIs into an output component that outputs an indication of likelihood of malignancy.
