    Abstract: An image segmentation method system, the system comprising: a training subsystem configured to train a segmentation machine learning model using annotated training data comprising images associated with respective segmentation annotations, so as to generate a trained segmentation machine learning model; a model evaluator; and a segmentation subsystem configured to perform segmentation of a structure or material in an image using the trained segmentation machine learning model. The model evaluator is configured to evaluate the segmentation machine learning model by (i) controlling the segmentation subsystem to segment at least one evaluation image associated with an existing segmentation annotation using the segmentation machine learning model and thereby generate a segmentation of the annotated evaluation image, and (ii) forming a comparison of the segmentation of the annotated evaluation image and the existing segmentation annotation. The method includes deploying the trained segmentation machine learning model for use if the comparison indicates that the segmentation machine learning model is satisfactory.

    Abstract: A system and method for classifying a structure or material in an image of a subject. The system comprises: a segmenter configured to segment an image into one or more segmentations that correspond to respective structures or materials in the image, and to generate from the segmentations one or more segmentation maps of the image (each of the segmentation maps representing the image) including categorizations of pixels or voxels of the segmentation maps assigned from one or more respective predefined sets of categories; a classifier that implements a classification machine learning model configured to generate, based on the segmentations maps, one or more classifications and to assign to the classifications respective scores indicative of a likelihood that the structure or material, or the subject, falls into the respective classifications; and an output for outputting a result indicative of the classifications and scores.
