  • Providing a classification explanation and a generative function
    Patent number: 12118717
    Abstract: A method is for providing a classification explanation. The method includes receiving an acquired medical image corresponding to an examination volume; and receiving or determining an actual classification value. The actual classification value classifies an anatomical structure within the acquired medical image. The method further includes receiving or determining a first classification value being different from the actual classification value, the first classification value being a potential classification value of the anatomical structure within the acquired medical image; applying a first generative function to the acquired medical image to generate a first synthetic image, the first generative function being based on the first classification value, and being configured to modify the anatomical structure to exhibit the first classification value; and providing a visualization based on the acquired medical image and the first synthetic image.
