    In this abstract, a deep residual neural network based approach that improves the automatic detection and labeling of cerebral microbleeds by significantly reducing the number of false positives compared to previously published algorithms is proposed. This combined method removed 89% of false positives in the test patients with brain tumors who had radiation-induce CMBs while losing only 3% of the true microbleeds and has the potential to fully automate CMB detection.
