A system and method for classifying a structure or material in an image of a subject. The system comprises: a segmenter configured to segment an image into one or more segmentations that correspond to respective structures or materials in the image, and to generate from the segmentations one or more segmentation maps of the image (each of the segmentation maps representing the image) including categorizations of pixels or voxels of the segmentation maps assigned from one or more respective predefined sets of categories; a classifier that implements a classification machine learning model configured to generate, based on the segmentations maps, one or more classifications and to assign to the classifications respective scores indicative of a likelihood that the structure or material, or the subject, falls into the respective classifications; and an output for outputting a result indicative of the classifications and scores. |
