Abstract
One or more example embodiments of the present invention relates to a method for the automated determination of examination results in an image sequence from multiple chronologically consecutive frames, the method comprising determining diagnostic candidates in the form of contiguous image regions in the individual frames for a predefined diagnostic finding; and for a number of the diagnostic candidates, determining which candidate image regions in other frames correspond to the particular diagnostic candidate, determining whether the candidate image regions of the particular diagnostic candidate in the other frames overlap with other diagnostic candidates, generating a graph containing the determined diagnostic candidates of the frames as nodes and the determined overlaps as edges, and generating communities from nodes connected via edges.
