Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for characterizing a development of pathologies involving changes in volume of a body, the method comprising: receiving, from a magnetic resonance imaging device, two images I determining, using a computer, a midway cumulative histogram of gray levels common to the two images I normalizing, using the computer, gray levels by applying the midway cumulative histogram to the two images I calculating, using the computer, a map of signed differences between the two normalized images I′ performing, using the computer, one or more statistical tests, including a first test based on an assumption of a Gaussian distribution of gray levels for healthy tissues of the anatomical part of the body in the normalized images I′ characterizing, using the computer, the development of pathologies based on said performed one or more statistical tests.
