Abstract: A method of augmenting the number of labeled images for training a neural network comprising the steps of—Starting from a dataset of labeled images with corresponding segmentation masks and a dataset of unlabeled images, gathering for a given image i in a data set of labeled images a number of images with similar metadata in said dataset of unlabeled images so as to form data sub-set Sim i,—Training a multiclass segmentation neural network on said labeled images thereby generating segmentation masks for the images in subset Sim i,—On the basis of these segmentation masks judging similarity between images of Sim i and image i and finding the most similar image(s) in Sim i by computing and comparing histograms of segmentation masks of image i and images in Sim i—Transferring the histogram of the most similar images in Sim i to given image i.

Abstract: Method of segmenting anatomical structures such as organs in 3D scans in an architecture that combines U-net, time-distributed convolutions and bidirectional convolutional LSTM.

Abstract: A neural network, trained for the task of deriving the attribution of image regions that significantly influence classification in a tool for pathology classification, comprising (i) a contracting branch, (ii) an attenuation module, (iii) an interconnected upsampling branch, and (iv) a final mapping module.

Abstract: A method for finding image regions that significantly influence classification in a tool for pathology classification in a medical image wherein image regions that influence classification are inpainted, by replacing the pixels in these regions by representations of heathy tissue, resulting in an image with a healthy classification-score in the classification tool.

Abstract: A method for training an artificial neural network on an additional untrained segmentation task prevents the loss of previously acquired segmentation skills on originally trained segmentation tasks.
