Abstract
A method for performing a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) for universal lesion detection includes: receiving a medical image; processing the medical image to predict lesion proposals and generating cropped feature maps corresponding to the lesion proposals; for each lesion proposal, applying a plurality of lesion detection classifiers to generate a plurality of lesion detection scores, the plurality of lesion detection classifiers including a whole-body classifier and one or more organ-specific classifiers; for each lesion proposal, applying an organ-gating classifier to generate a plurality of weighting coefficients corresponding to the plurality of lesion detection classifiers; and for each lesion proposal, performing weight gating on the plurality of lesion detection scores with the plurality of weighting coefficients to generate a comprehensive lesion detection score.
