A computer assisted therapy apparatus (100) uses data from functional medical imaging examinations of a patient to evaluate the response of a patient to an applied therapy. A lesion tracker (112) tracks lesion(s) detected in the medical imaging examinations, and a lesion quantifier (114) generates quantitative information indicative of functional characteristic of the lesion(s). A trend analyzer (116) uses the quantitative information to determine trends in the functional characteristic. |
