Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for automatic detection of clinical relevance of images of an anatomical situation. The method includes comparing a first image and a second image and determining whether a difference between the first and second images is at least one of a local type difference and a global type difference. The local type difference is a local difference of the first image and the second image and the global type difference is a global difference between the first image and the second image. The second image is determined as having a clinical relevance if it is determined that the difference between the first image and the second image comprises a local type difference.
