  • Publication number: 20230101975
    Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for detecting focal lesions in multi-phase or multi-sequence medical imaging studies of medical images. One system includes memory for storing medical images and an electronic processor. The electronic processor is configured to: detect native candidate lesions for first phase computer tomography (CT) scans, detect candidate lesions for second phase CT scans, and project the candidate lesions detected for the first phase CT scans and/or the second phase CT scans on a same common domain. Once the candidate lesions are registered together, the electronic processor performs a matching algorithm for each of the native candidate lesions of the first phase CT scans with the registered candidate lesions from the second phase CT scans to determine presence and contours of valid lesions for the medical images, and to discard candidate lesions that are not acceptable.
