System and method for targeted object enhancement to generate synthetic breast tissue images

A method for processing breast tissue image data, comprising:

• processing image data of a patient's breast tissue to generate a set of image slices that collectively depict the patient's breast tissue, wherein at least two image slices in the set of image slices comprise at least a first object of a first object type and a second object of a second object type;
• performing a plurality of object-recognition processes on the set of image slices, wherein each of the plurality of object-recognition processes is configured to recognize a respective type of object that may be present in the set of image slices;
• based at least in part on the performance of the plurality of object-recognition processes, recognizing the first object of the first object type and the second object of the second object type in the at least two image slices in the set of image slices;
• based on a determination that the first object of the first object type and the second object of the second object type are likely to overlap in a synthesized image, generating the synthesized image based at least on the at least two image slices in the set of image slices, wherein generating the synthesized image includes fusing the first object and the second object such that at least a portion of each of the first and the second objects are included in the synthesized image;
• and
• causing the synthesized image to be displayed.
