Abstract
Systems and methods for characterizing a region of interest (ROI) in a medical image are provided. An exemplary system may include a memory storing instructions and at least one processor communicatively coupled to the memory to execute the instructions which, when executed by the processor, may cause the processor to perform operations. The operations may include detecting one or more candidate ROIs from the medical image using a three-dimensional (3D) machine learning network. The operations may also include determining a key slice for each candidate ROI. The operations may further include selecting a primary ROI from the one or more candidate ROIs based on the respective key slices. In addition, the operations may include classifying the primary ROI into one of a plurality of categories using a texture-based classifier based on the key slice corresponding to the primary ROI.
