Abstract: Mechanisms are provided for detecting lesions in diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) images. The mechanisms receive a first set of DWI images corresponding to a anatomical structure, from medical imaging computer system(s). The first set of DWI images comprises a plurality of DWI images having at least two different b-values. The mechanisms generate a second set of DWI images from the first set of DWI images based on at least one predetermined criterion. The second set of DWI images comprises different DWI images having different b-values. The mechanisms extract feature data from the second set of DWI images, input the feature data into at least one computer neural network, and generate an output from the neural network(s) comprising at least one of a lesion classification or a lesion mask based on results of processing, by the neural network(s), of the feature data extracted from the second set of DWI images.

Abstract: A mechanism is provided in a data processing system for automatic determination of b-value difference from diffusion-weighted (DW) images. The mechanism receives a series of images wherein a first image has a first b-value and a second image has an unknown b-value. The mechanism applies a generative adversarial network (GAN) model to estimate a difference between b-values in the series of images. The mechanism determines a b-value for the second image based on the first b-value and the estimated difference between b-values.

Abstract: In an approach for image registration performance assurance by optimizing system configurations, a processor evaluates alignment of a registered image and a fixed image using a pre-trained learning model. The registered image is generated with a first registration method. A processor provides a reward score to the alignment, the reward score being defined as a higher score indicating a better alignment. A processor generates a registration status represented as a feature vector that contains information about how the registered and fixed images are aligned. A processor determines a second registration method based on the reward score, the feature vector, and the first registration method.

Abstract: Mechanisms are provided to implement an automated medical image processing pipeline selection (MIPPS) system. The MIPPS system receives medical image data associated with a patient electronic medical record and analyzes the medical image data to extract evidence data comprising characteristics of one or more medical images in the medical image data indicative of a medical image processing pipeline to select for processing the one or more medical images. The evidence data is provided to a machine learning model of the MIPPS system which selects a medical image processing pipeline based on a machine learning based analysis of the evidence data. The selected medical image processing pipeline processes the medical image data to generate a results output.

The second patch pattern may include a second point-centered patch that is centered on the second center point, and a second point-edged patch that is located with a patch edge contacting the second center point.
