Claim 0:
1. A system for preprocessing medical image data for machine learning, the system comprising:
an image data interface configured to access image data, the image data comprising an anatomical structure;
a memory comprising instruction data representing a set of instructions;
a processor configured to communicate with the image data interface and the memory and to execute the set of instructions, wherein the set of instructions, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to:
segment the anatomical structure in the image data to obtain a segmentation of the anatomical structure as a delineated part of the image data;
assign a grid to the delineated part of the image data, the grid representing a partitioning of an exterior and interior of the type of anatomical structure using grid lines, wherein said assigning comprises adapting the grid to fit the segmentation of the anatomical structure in the image data; and
provide a machine learning algorithm with an addressing to the image data in the delineated part on the basis of coordinates in the assigned grid.
