Vascular abnormalities are challenging for diagnostic imaging due to the complexity of vasculature and the non-uniform scattering from biological tissues. The authors present an unsupervised learning algorithm for vascular feature recognition from small sets of biomedical images acquired from different modalities. They demonstrate the utility of their diagnostic approach on vascular images of thrombosis, internal bleeding and colitis.
