Claim:
1. A method comprising: acquiring scan data for an object to be imaged using an imaging scanner; reconstructing a display image, with one or more processors, using the scan data; determining, with the one or more processors, one or more aspects of a quantitation imaging algorithm for generating a quantitation image, wherein the one or more aspects of the quantitation imaging algorithm are selected to optimize a quantitation figure of merit for lesion quantitation; reconstructing a quantitation image, with the one or more processors, using the scan data and the quantitation imaging algorithm; displaying, on a display device, the display image; determining a region of interest in the display image; determining, for the region of interest, a lesion quantitation value using a corresponding region of interest of the quantitation image; and displaying, on the display device, the lesion quantitation value.
