System and method for detecting medical conditions

A system for detecting the presence or absence of a particular medical condition for a patient, comprising:

• one or more electronic processors;
• and
• one or more electronic memories each electrically connected to at least one of the one or more electronic processors and having instructions stored therein;
• wherein the one or more electronic processors are configured to access the one or more electronic memories and to execute the instructions stored therein such that the one or more electronic processors are configured to:
• acquire at least one image of an area of interest of the patient's body;
• identify a first region of interest within the at least one acquired image corresponding to a first anatomical structure of interest and a second region of interest within the at least one acquired image corresponding to a second anatomical structure of interest;
• evaluate the first and second regions of interest;
• detect the presence or absence of the medical condition based on the evaluation of the first and second regions of interest;
• and
• generate an electrical signal indicative of the detected presence or absence of the medical condition.

A non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium storing program instructions thereon that, when executed on one or more electronic processors, causes the one or more electronic processors to carry out the method of:

• acquiring at least one image of an area of interest of the patient's body;
• identifying a first region of interest within the at least one acquired image corresponding to a first anatomical structure of interest and a second region of interest within the at least one acquired image corresponding to a second anatomical structure of interest;
• evaluating the first and second regions of interest;
• detecting the presence or absence of the medical condition based on the evaluation of the first and second regions of interest;
• and
• generating an electrical signal indicative of the detected presence or absence of the medical condition.
