Abstract
Systems and methods for tracking a location of an object of interest through a sequence of medical images are provided. First and second input medical images of a patient are received. The first input medical image comprises an annotation of a location of an object of interest. Features are extracted from the first and the second input medical images. A location of the object of interest in the second input medical image is determined using a machine learning based location predictor network based on the annotation of the location of the object of interest in the first input medical image and the extracted features from the first and the second input medical images. The location of the object of interest in the second input medical image is output. The machine learning based location predictor network is trained based on a comparison between 1) locations of a particular object in a sequence of training images determined during a forward tracking of the particular object through the sequence of training images and 2) locations of the particular object determined during a backward tracking of the particular object through the sequence of training images.
