    Abstract: A method and system for training a machine learning model for reducing or removing a foreign material or artefacts due to a foreign material from an image of a subject, the method comprising: generating one or more first simulated images from one or more real or simulated images of the foreign material (and optionally artefacts due to the foreign material), and from one or more real images of one or more subjects that are free of the foreign material and of artefacts due to the foreign material, such that the generated simulated images include the foreign material and artefacts due to the foreign material; generating one or more predicted images employing at least the first simulated images with a machine learning network that implements a machine learning model; and training or updating the machine learning model with the machine learning network by reducing or minimizing a difference between the one or more predicted images and ground truth data comprising one or more real or simulated images.

    Abstract: A method of building an abnormality quantifier comprising: generating at least one selected first dataset comprising measurements of a normal population or sample and at least one second selected dataset comprising measurements of an abnormal population or sample; generating an image or map by imagizing the datasets; identifying a normality zone within the image or map using the first dataset; identifying an abnormality zone within the image or map using the second dataset; determining a definition of abnormality based on a comparison of the normality zone and the abnormality zone; receiving or accessing at least one third dataset comprising measurements of a both known normal and abnormal population or sample; testing the performance of the initially defined abnormality against one or more preset performance criteria; and outputting an abnormality quantifier when optimal performance has been reached.

    Abstract: A computer-implemented method for identifying a gap between objects in an image, the method comprising: detecting contours of the objects in the image or in a binarized version thereof; locating at least one path or gap between the objects, in the image or in an intersection region being a portion of the image containing at least respective portions of the objects by: determining representative attenuations or densities of respective one or more rows and columns of the image or of the intersection region, identifying first pixels, being pixels in a column that has a representative attenuation or density of 0, and second pixels, being pixels in a row that has a representative attenuation or density of 0, determining whether there exists a path or gap between two or more boundaries by identifying at least one first or second pixel on each of two or more of the boundaries, and detecting one or more paths between the at least two boundaries; and outputting a result indicative of one or more detected paths.
