Claim 0:
1. A method for determining a predicted disease status and/or a value corresponding to predicted risk of the disease status based on automated analysis of intensities of a three-dimensional (3D) functional image, the method comprising:
(a) receiving, by a processor of a computing device, a 3D anatomical image of a subject obtained using an anatomical imaging modality, wherein the 3D anatomical image comprises a graphical representation of tissue within the subject;
(b) identifying, by the processor, within the 3D anatomical image, a first volume corresponding to a target tissue volume of interest (VOI) within the subject;
(c) receiving, by the processor, a 3D functional image of the subject obtained using a functional imaging modality; and
(d) determining, by the processor, a predicted disease status of the subject and/or a value corresponding to predicted risk of the disease status of the subject using a machine learning module that receives, as input, intensities of voxels of the 3D functional image identified as corresponding to the first volume of the anatomical image.
