Abstract

A computer-implemented method, comprising: receiving input data including a medical image and an in-image annotation; applying a first function to the input data to determine a relevance value of pixels in the image and a relevance map; applying a second function to the medical image to generate a de-identified medical image; applying a trained function to the medical image and the de-identified medical image to determine a first property in the medical image and a second property in the de-identified medical image; applying a comparison function to the first property and the second property to determine a similarity value, wherein in response to the similarity value being below a similarity threshold, the relevance map is adjusted and the applying of the second function, the applying of the trained function and the applying of the comparison function are repeated; and providing the de-identified medical image and the in-image annotation.
