Abstract
A method and system for approximating a deep neural network for anatomical object detection is discloses. A deep neural network is trained to detect an anatomical object in medical images. An approximation of the trained deep neural network is calculated that reduces the computational complexity of the trained deep neural network. The anatomical object is detected in an input medical image of a patient using the approximation of the trained deep neural network.
