Claim 10:
11. A method for diagnosing a disease condition in a patient, the method comprising:
receiving an input image of a portion of a body of a patient;
passing the input image to an object detection model that is trained to generate an output that comprises, for each of a set of reference locations in the input image, a probability that the input image contains an object of interest at the reference location, where one or more of the objects of interest are indicative of the disease condition;
passing the output from the object detection model to an automated diagnostic model that is trained to provide a probabilistic diagnosis of the disease condition for the input image based on the output from the object detection model; and
outputting the probabilistic diagnosis of the disease condition from the automated diagnostic model.
