Abstract
Systems, computer-readable media, and methods are presented that identify suspicious anomalies in a colon with higher sensitivity and at a lower false positive rate. A plurality of images of an anatomical colon is acquired. Candidate suspicious anomalies are identified in each image. The candidate suspicious anomalies across images are then compared using registration and matching. Features of candidate suspicious anomalies across images may be jointly evaluated to perform classification.
