Method and system for automatic processing and evaluation of images, particularly diagnostic images

This invention describes a computer program designed to automatically analyze medical images. It works in two steps: first, it processes the raw image data using general techniques, and then it applies more specialized algorithms to identify and highlight specific features or qualities within the imaged body. For instance, it can measure the compactness or fractal dimension of objects, or analyze patterns related to contrast agents in the image.

Why it matters: Filed before the deep learning revolution, which has since dramatically improved the accuracy and capability of the 'expert image processing algorithms' for classification and prediction described in the claims. Modern AI makes the two-stage analysis much more powerful.
