Abstract
The current disclosure provides methods and systems to provide a magnification capability to a software application for reviewing medical images, where a selected portion of a medical image displayed by the software application can be viewed within a magnification window at a higher resolution than other portions of the medical image. A higher-resolution medical image of the selected portion can be generated from the medical image using a trained convolutional neural network (CNN). In a first embodiment, the selected portion of the medical image is cropped and inputted into the trained CNN to generate a higher-resolution medical image corresponding to the selected portion. In a second embodiment, the medical image is inputted into the trained CNN to generate a higher-resolution medical image when the medical image is displayed, and the selected portion of the higher-resolution medical image is cropped and displayed at a time of selection.
