Abstract: The invention provides a method and device for creating a model for classifying a data point in imaging data representing measured intensities, the method comprising: training a model using a first labelled set of imaging data points; determining at least one first image part in the first labelled set which the model incorrectly classifies; generating second image parts similar to at least one image part; further training the model using the second image parts. Preferably the imaging data points and the second image parts comprise 3D data points.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for classifying a region of interest in imaging data, the method comprising: calculating a feature vector for at least one region of interest in the imaging data, said feature vector including features of a first modality; projecting the feature vector for the at least one region of interest in the imaging data using a decision function to generate a classification, wherein the decision function is based on classified feature vectors including features of a first modality and features of a second modality; estimating the confidence of the classification if the feature vector is enhanced with features of the second modality.

Abstract: The invention provides a method and apparatus for classifying a region of interest in imaging data, the method comprising: calculating a feature vector for at least one region of interest in the imaging data; projecting the feature vector for the at least one region of interest in the imaging data using a plurality of decision functions to generate a corresponding plurality of classifications; calculating an ensemble classification based on the plurality of classifications. receiving from the user feedback information concerning the ensemble classification; forming an additional classified feature vector from the feature vector and the feedback information; and updating at least one of the plurality of decision functions using the additional classified feature vector.
