Claim One:
1. A medical image processing method for capturing anatomical features of a patient on a basis of medical image records, comprising: a) reading a patient image record; b) reading a reference image record; c) utilizing a pattern recognition method to localize joints in the patient image record and in the reference image record; d) at the localized joints, segmenting the patient image record into patient image segments and segmenting the reference image record) into reference image segments; e) establishing a segment-individual image deformation for a respective reference image segment or patient image segment, by means of which image deformation image structures of the reference image segment are mapped to corresponding image structures of the patient image segment; and f) capturing an anatomical feature on a basis of the segment-individual maps between the reference image segments and the patient image segments.
