Abstract:
1. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising instructions, which, when executed by a computer, cause the computer to: access a set of patient image data acquired from a patient; identify a target region of interest (ROI) from the set of patient image data; derive a quantitative parameter from image data representing a plurality of pixels within the target ROI, the quantitative parameter representing a local feature of interest of the target ROI; access a set of pre-computed image data; define a reference dataset from the set of pre-computed image data, the reference dataset representing an expected value of the local feature of interest for the target ROI; identify a number of standard deviations between the quantitative parameter and the reference dataset; calculate a deviation metric based on the identified number of standard deviations; and display the deviation metric.
