Abstract
Mechanisms are provided for detecting lesions in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) images. The mechanisms receive a first set of DWI images corresponding to a anatomical structure, from medical imaging computer system(s). The first set of DWI images comprises a plurality of DWI images having at least two different b-values. The mechanisms generate a second set of DWI images from the first set of DWI images based on at least one predetermined criterion. The second set of DWI images comprises different DWI images having different b-values. The mechanisms extract feature data from the second set of DWI images, input the feature data into at least one computer neural network, and generate an output from the neural network(s) comprising at least one of a lesion classification or a lesion mask based on results of processing, by the neural network(s), of the feature data extracted from the second set of DWI images.
