Artificial intelligence training system for medical applications and method

Abstract

The invention relates to a training system and a training method for training an artificial neural network, in particular for medical applications. The training system comprises an image-processing device, which is configured to receive a set of acquired images, an artificial intelligence module, configured to implement an artificial neural network, and a controller device, configured to train the artificial neural network implemented by the artificial intelligence module, wherein the image-processing device is further configured to generate modified images based on a modification of the acquired images, wherein each of the modified images generated by the image-processing device contains less texture information than the respective acquired image from which they stem, and wherein the controller device is configured to receive a set of training images comprising at least part of the modified images and at least part of the acquired images and train an artificial neural network which, based on a classification scheme, is configured to output a probability distribution for each training image according to the classification scheme.
