Optimized data collection of relevant medical images

A computer program product comprising:

• one or more computer readable storage media, and program instructions collectively stored on the one or more computer readable storage media, the program instructions comprising program instructions programmed to perform:
• analyzing a first set of images, including a first image, at an image manipulation stage of an image processing algorithm, wherein the image manipulation stage comprises an image processing algorithmic chain;
• extracting a plurality of relevant features derived from the analysis at the image manipulation stage, including a first extracted relevant feature with respect to the first image;
• computing a plurality of degrees of interest, including a first degree of interest, with respect to the plurality of extracted relevant features, wherein a respective degree of interest inversely correlates to a degree of confidence associated with the analysis;
• determining a subset of the plurality of extracted relevant features from the first set of images wherein a respectively corresponding plurality of degrees of interest exceed a threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the subset of the plurality of extracted relevant features from the first set of images, sending the subset of the first set of images to a receiving system.

A computer system comprising:

• a processor set;
• and
• one or more computer readable storage media;
• wherein:
• the processor set is structured, located, connected and/or programmed to run program instructions stored on the one or more computer readable storage media;
• and
• the program instructions include program instructions programmed to perform:
• analyzing a first set of images, including a first image, at an image manipulation stage of an image processing algorithm, wherein the image manipulation stage comprises an image processing algorithmic chain;
• extracting a plurality of relevant features derived from the analysis at the image manipulation stage, including a first extracted relevant feature with respect to the first image;
• computing a plurality of degrees of interest, including a first degree of interest, with respect to the plurality of extracted relevant features, wherein a respective degree of interest inversely correlates to a degree of confidence associated with the analysis;
• determining a subset of the plurality of extracted relevant features from the first set of images wherein a respectively corresponding plurality of degrees of interest exceed a threshold;
• and
• in response to determining the subset of the plurality of extracted relevant features from the first set of images, sending the subset of the first set of images to a receiving system.
