Zusammenfassung:	A candidate generator generates a set of candidate three-dimensional image patches from an input volume. A candidate classifier classifies the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches as containing or not containing disease. Classifying the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches comprises generating an attention mask for each given candidate three-dimensional image patch within the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches to form a set of attention masks, applying the set of attention masks to the set of candidate three-dimensional image patches to form a set of masked image patches, and classifying the set of masked image patches as containing or not containing the disease. The candidate classifier applies soft attention and hard attention to the three-dimensional image patches such that distinctive image regions are highlighted proportionally to their contribution to classification while completely removing image regions that may cause confusion.
