Systems and methods for processing electronic imaging data obtained from medical imaging procedures are disclosed herein. Some embodiments relate to data processing mechanisms for medical imaging and diagnostic workflows involving the use of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, artificial neural networks, and related algorithms that perform machine recognition of specific features and conditions in imaging data. In an example, a deep learning model is selected for automated image recognition of a particular medical condition on image data, and applied to the image data to recognize characteristics of the particular medical condition. Based on the characteristics recognized by the automated image recognition on the image data, an electronic workflow for performing a diagnostic evaluation of the medical imaging study may be modified, updated, or prioritized.
