Voxelwise atlas rating for computer assisted diagnosis: Application to congenital heart diseases of the great arteries

Highlights • This paper presents a voxelwise atlas rating approach for computer-aided diagnosis.• The method relies on multiple atlas databases, but does not require annotated images.• The method reports an accuracy of 97.3%, which is higher than other state-of-the-art methods.
