System and method for identifying feature in an image of a subject

A system to detect and classify a feature in an image based on a plurality of individual image projections generated with an imaging system, the system comprising:

• an imaging head;
• a processor module configured to execute instructions to:
• acquire, with an imaging head at a selected position relative to a subject, the plurality of individual image projections of a subject;
• determine whether the feature is present in each individual image projection of the plurality of individual image projections, wherein, to determine whether the feature is present, the processor module is configured to execute instructions to:
• form a concatenated image of the feature based on the plurality of individual image projections;
• propose regions in the concatenated image of the feature;
• classify the proposed regions;
• and
• output the classified regions;
• generate the image based on the plurality of individual image projections and based on determining whether the feature is present;
• and
• provide, for display on a display device, the image of the subject and a determination of a position of the feature in the image.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a set of instructions to detect and classify a feature in an image based on a plurality of individual image projections generated with an imaging system, the set of instructions comprising:

• one or more instructions that, when executed by a processing module of a system, cause the system to:
• acquire, with an imaging head at a selected position relative to a subject, the plurality of individual image projections of a subject;
• determine whether the feature is present in each individual image projection of the plurality of individual image projections, wherein, to determine whether the feature is present, the one or more instructions cause the system to:
• form a concatenated image of the feature based on the plurality of individual image projections;
• propose regions in the concatenated image of the feature;
• classify the proposed regions;
• and
• output the classified regions;
• generate the image based on the plurality of individual image projections and based on determining whether the feature is present;
• and
• provide, for display on a display device, the image of the subject and a determination of a position of the feature in the image.
