Abstract: A device to enhance and present a medical image using a corrective mechanism is described. An image analysis application executed by the device captures a digital copy of the medical image displayed on a display device. A flawed photography effect associated with the digital copy is identified by processing the digital copy. Next, the digital copy is enhanced based on the flawed photography effect. Furthermore, the enhanced digital copy can be processed with an artificial intelligence mechanism to generate an annotation. The annotation is associated with a cancer identification. In addition, the enhanced digital copy and the annotation are displayed.

Abstract: A mobile device to provide a medical image based distortion correction mechanism is described. An image analysis application, executed by the mobile device, captures a digital copy of the medical image with a camera component in response to a user action. Distortion(s) associated with the digital copy are identified by processing the digital copy with deep neural network (DNN) model(s). Next, a manual correction description is determined to correct the distortion(s) in relation to the camera component and the medical image. Furthermore, a notification to recapture the digital copy is provided to the user. The notification includes the manual correction description. Additionally, in response to another user action to correct the distortion(s) or a failure to detect the user execute manual correction(s) associated with the distortion(s) within a time period, the distortion(s) within the digital copy are corrected and the corrected digital copy is provided to the user.

Abstract: A device to provide a heat map based medical image diagnostic mechanism is described. An image analysis application executed by the device receives a medical image from a medical image provider. A region of interest (ROI) is determined or provided by a user. A disease state score including a malignancy score is calculated for the ROI. Next, the ROI is partitioned into sub-regions. Impact values associated with the sub-regions are also determined. The impact values indicate the influence of a sub-region on the disease state score. Furthermore, annotations are determined based on pixel values associated with the sub-region. A heat map of the sub-regions is also generated based on the impact values. The heat map is labeled with the annotations. Next, the heat map is overlaid on the ROI. The medical image is provided with the heat map to the user.

Abstract: A device to correct an image blur within a medical image is described. An image analysis application executed by the device receives the medical image from a medical image provider. Next, the image blur is detected within the medical image by analyzing the medical image. The medical image is subsequently processed with a deep learning model to correct the image blur. In response to the processing, a de-blurred medical image is generated. The de-blurred medical image is provided for a presentation or a continued analysis.
