ABSTRACT:
A system for the detection of abnormalities in a medical image of a subject. The system includes an examination bundle, a learning engine, and a detecting engine. The examination bundle includes at least one medical image of the subject from a first modality and at least one medical image of the subject from a second modality. The learning engine is employed for determining the characteristics of abnormalities within the at least one medical image from the first modality and the at least one medical image from the second modality. The detecting engine is employed for detecting abnormalities within at least one of the medical images comprising the examination bundle.
