SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DETECTING PULMONARY PATHOLOGIES FROM X-RAY IMAGES Russian patent published in 2025 - IPC A61B5/91 G16H10/00 G06N3/02 G06T7/10 

FIELD: physics; medicine.

SUBSTANCE: group of inventions relates to image processing and more specifically to medical decision support based on medical image analysis. Disclosed is a system for implementing the method for detecting pulmonary pathologies, which comprises a unit for obtaining an X-ray image of the lungs; unit for diagnosis of pathologies, which, using a neural network based on segmentation, detects areas of pulmonary pathologies in the obtained image; anatomical structures segmentation unit, which determines using the neural network based on the segmentation of the heart region, the right lung region and the left lung region along their outer contours, as well as the region from the diaphragm and below it; pathology localization unit, which determines the detected pathology sites localization by comparing the output data from the pathology diagnostic unit and output data from the anatomical structures segmentation unit and removes the suspected areas of pathologies extending beyond the area to which they correspond; and a unit for transmitting a report to a device requesting diagnosis, wherein segmentation masks issued by neural networks undergo post-processing to refine segmentation results.

EFFECT: group of inventions provides higher accuracy of diagnostics and higher automation of processing.
