- Description
A system for analyzing medical images to detect and classify a medical condition, the system includes an input for receiving a medical image, a convolutional neural network coupled to the input and configured to analyze the medical image to generate a prediction including a probability of the presence of the medical condition in the medical image and an atlas creation module coupled to the convolutional neural network and configured to generate an atlas comprising a set of image features and a set of training images. Each image feature is assigned with at least one training image associated with the medical condition. The system further includes a prediction basis selection module coupled to the convolutional neural network and the atlas and configured to create a prediction basis for the prediction generated by the convolutional neural network.
