Claim One:
1. A system for processing medical image data representing at least one first region of a patient including at least one feature of interest automatically detected by a computer, the system comprising: at least one processor configured to: detect first data representing at least one second region, included within a respective said first region, wherein at least one said feature of interest in said second region has a significant likelihood of representing a false positive automatically detected by a computer, said false positives being caused by at least one of motion, streak artifacts, and photon-starvation, wherein detecting the false positive automatically by the computer includes: transforming the medical image data utilizing a slice-wise 2D transformation to generate a distance value for each voxel; determining an influence region of each voxel which has a displacement-discontinuity value which exceeds a predetermined threshold; and automatically identifying the influence region as said false positives; provide second data for enabling at least one said first region to be displayed on a display device; and causing the at least one said second region to be displayed on the display apparatus differently from the rest of said first region.
