Abstract: A method for training a computer-implemented machine learning model for detecting irregularities in medical images, the method including: identifying at least one predetermined type of body region (14) depicted in a medical image (10), said body region (14) having a depicted irregularity (12); defining a plurality of image segments (20) each including at least part of the depicted body region (14), wherein a resolution of the image segments (20) is maintained or not reduced by more than 20% compared to the medical image (10); and using said image segments (20) to train a machine learning model to detect similar irregularities (12) in other medical images (10). Further, the invention relates to a use and to systems for training a computer-implemented machine learning model for detecting irregularities in medical images.
