>crazy things like blurring the image until it's just fuzzy blobs
That... that doesn't influence one of the presumed ways the NN categorizes images: the trend in bone geometry. The "blobs", while fuzzy, still largely retain the relative proportions to each other. Or, in other words, proportions of image elements are invariant for operations of scaling and of blurring.

If that is the case you could write a normal algorithm to get the proportions and see if it separates you data set nicely. (which should be done to prove this assertion)
