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 one image slice in the set of image slices comprises an object of a particular object type;
• performing a mode filter on the image slices to enhance the set of image slices;
• performing a plurality of object-recognition processes on the 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 image slices;
• based at least in part on performing the plurality of object-recognition processes, recognizing the object of the particular object type in the at least one image slice in the set of image slices;
• and
• generating, using the at least one image slice in the set of image slices, a synthesized image of the patient's breast tissue.
