(c) Training data is generated through manually labeling using SLEAP’s graphical user interface. (d-e) Neural network detection schematic. For each quadrant a series of two networks were used. The first identifies the quadrant center, the second using input of the first, then identifies individual anatomical landmarks within a quadrant. (d) Four neural networks were trained, each with the objective of identifying a chest quadrant centroid. The four separate quadrants are visualized as colored boxes (right upper quadrant, green; right lower quadrant, blue; left upper quadrant, red; left lower quadrant, yellow). (e) Serial centroid then anatomical identification.

Image of patient (upper-left) in which, according to the radiologist's report, there is only consolidation, but the algorithm detects an abnormal rib (upper-right), consolidation (lower-left), and two nodules (lower-right). It is worth noting the confusion of a consolidation with mammary tissue and of two nodules with the two mammary areolae. Image courtesy of Scientific Reports.
