Abstract:
1. A method implemented on a machine having at least one processor, storage, and a communication platform connected to a network for analyzing functions of a liver, the method comprising: obtaining one or more images of liver tissue of the liver by a first device; identifying diseased liver tissue from the images obtained by the first device; identifying healthy liver tissue from the images obtained by the first device; obtaining a first set of surface points of the healthy liver tissue based on boundaries of the identified diseased and healthy liver tissues; segmenting the liver based on one or more images obtained by a second device; obtaining a second set of surface points of the liver tissue based on the images obtained by the second device; computing one or more deformation parameters based on the first set of surface points and the second set of surface points; identifying one or more regions of interest in the liver from the images obtained by the second device; mapping the one or more regions of interest to the coordinate space of the first device; and analyzing liver functions of the mapped one or more regions of interest based on the images obtained by the first device.
