Abstract: Systems and methods configured for providing automated analysis of images in medical imaging applications are disclosed. A system configured in accordance with the present disclosure may include an analyzer configured to recognize a feature of interest in a medical image utilizing a predictive model developed at least partially based on machine learning of previously acquired medical data. The analyzer may also be configured to determine whether the feature of interest is an abnormality or a hardware implant. The system configured in accordance with the present disclosure may help increase efficiency of radiology practice and disease detection rates.
