Abstract

A method for processing breast tissue image data includes processing the image data to generate a set of image slices collectively depicting the patient's breast; for each image slice, applying one or more filters associated with a plurality of multi-level feature modules, each configured to represent and recognize an assigned characteristic or feature of a high-dimensional object; generating at each multi-level feature module a feature map depicting regions of the image slice having the assigned feature; combining the feature maps generated from the plurality of multi-level feature modules into a combined image object map indicating a probability that the high-dimensional object is present at a particular location of the image slice; and creating a 2D synthesized image identifying one or more high-dimensional objects based at least in part on object maps generated for a plurality of image slices.
