  • Publication number: 20220165377
    Abstract: A multi-label heat map generating system is operable to receive a plurality of medical scans and a corresponding plurality of global labels that each correspond to one of a set of abnormality classes. A computer vision model is generated by training on the medical scans and the global labels. Probability matrix data, which includes a set of image patch probability values that each indicate a probability that a corresponding one of the set of abnormality classes is present in each of a set of image patches, is generated by performing an inference function that utilizes the computer vision model on a new medical scan. Heat map visualization data can be generated for transmission to a client device based on the probability matrix data that indicates, for each of the set of abnormality classes, a color value for each pixel of the new medical scan.
