| abstract |
The present invention relates to longitudinal monitoring of tumor status and function from anatomical and functional tomographic imaging such as magnetic resonance (MR) or computed tomography (CT) images. The invention provides a new methodology for determining predictive classifiers for tumor status and function based on multi-parametric statistical classification algorithms. In addition, the invention provides a computer aided diagnostic (CAD) application encompassing several data categories and a longitudinal scrolling or browsing function providing an improved data overview tool for the user. |
