Abstract

PURPOSE: Artificial intelligence in computer vision has been increasingly adapted in clinical application since the implementation of neural networks, potentially providing incremental information beyond the mere detection of pathology. As its algorithmic approach propagates input variation, neural networks could be used to identify and evaluate relevant image features. In this study, we introduce a basic dataset structure and demonstrate a pertaining use case.
