The aim of this work was the development of algorithms for detection segmentation and classification of difficult to define bone metastatic cancerous lesions from spinal CT image data. For this purpose, the patient database was created and annotated by medical experts. Successively, three methods were proposed and developed; the first of them is based on the reworking and combination of methods developed during the preceding project phase, the second method is a fast variant based on the fuzzy k-means cluster analysis, the third method uses modern machine learning algorithms, specifically deep learning of convolutional neural networks. Further, an approach that elaborates the results by a subsequent random forest based meta-analysis of detected lesion candidates was proposed. The achieved results were objectively evaluated and compared with results achieved by algorithms published by other authors. The evaluation was done by two objective methodologies, technical voxel-based and clinical object-based ones. The achieved results were subsequently evaluated and discussed.
