Abstract: A framework for cross-modality image synthesis. A first and second model may be trained using respective first and second pairs of complementary images and corresponding first and second ground truth images that represent first and second views of a region of interest. The first and second pairs of complementary images may be acquired by a first modality and the first and second ground truth images may be acquired by a second modality. A combinational network may further be trained to combine features from the first and second models. At least one synthetic second modality image may then be generated by passing current images through the trained first or second model and the combinational network, wherein the current images are acquired by the first modality and represent the first or second view of the region of interest.

Abstract: A framework for automatic retrieval of medical images. In accordance with one aspect, the framework detects patches in a query image volume that contain at least a portion of an anatomical region of interest by using a first trained classifier. The framework determines disease probabilities by applying a second trained classifier to the detected patches, and selects, from the patches, a sub-set of informative patches with disease probabilities above a pre-determined threshold value. For a given patch from the sub-set of informative patches, the framework retrieves, from a database, patches that are most similar to the given image. Image volumes associated with the retrieved patches are then retrieved from the database. A report based on the retrieved image volumes may then be generated and presented.
