SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SYNTHESIZING LOW-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DATA FROM HIGH-DIMENSIONAL IMAGE DATA USING AN OBJECT GRID ENHANCEMENT

Abstract:

A method for processing breast tissue image data includes processing image data of a patient's breast tissue to generate a high-dimensional grid depicting one or more high-dimensional objects in the patient's breast tissue; determining a probability or confidence of each of the one or more high-dimensional objects depicted in the high-dimensional grid; and modifying one or more aspects of at least one of the one or more high-dimensional objects based at least in part on its respective determined probability or confidence to thereby generate a lower-dimensional format version of the one or more high-dimensional objects. The method may further include displaying the lower-dimensional format version of the one or more high-dimensional objects in a synthesized image of the patient's breast tissue.
