  • Patent number: 11488303
    Abstract: A system of deep learning neural network in prostate cancer bone metastasis identification based on whole body bone scan images includes a pre-processing module for receiving input whole body bone scan images, and a neural network module for detecting whether there is a prostate cancer bone metastasis. The neural network module includes: a chest portion network module for establishing first stage faster R-CNN and segmenting training images of chest portion according to the input whole body bone scan images, and using the training images to train second stage faster R-CNN and categorizing the lesions of cancerous bone metastasis; and a pelvis portion network module for establishing first stage faster R-CNN and segmenting training images of pelvis portion according to the input whole body bone scan images, and using the training images to train the convolutional neural network to categorize whether it is a bone metastasis image.
