Abstract

A computer-implemented method comprises: obtaining a plurality of prior medical image sequences from a prior study, and a prior report from the prior study; obtaining a plurality of current medical image sequences from a current study; determining at least one medical finding based on the prior report; identifying an image pair based on the at least one medical finding, wherein the image pair includes a prior image from a prior medical image sequence among the prior medical image sequences and a current image from a current medical image sequence among the current medical image sequences; and inputting the image pair to a machine learning algorithm trained to generate a change map indicating at least one difference between the current image and the prior image of the image pair.
