Claim One:
1. A computer system operable to determine variance data for a plurality of different locations in a reference medical image, the variance data representing a statistical variation among corresponding locations identified in a plurality of training medical images, the computer system comprising: a memory configured to store data representing the reference medical image and the plurality of training medical images; and processing circuitry operable to execute machine readable instructions to: receive an indication of a plurality of anatomical landmarks in the reference medical image and an indication of a plurality of anatomical landmarks in respective ones of the training medical images; determine offsets between the plurality of anatomical landmarks in the reference medical image and the plurality of anatomical landmarks in respective ones of the training medical images; determine location variance values for respective ones of the locations of anatomical features in the reference medical image from a statistical analysis of the determined offsets; and interpolate the location variance values for the plurality of anatomical landmarks in the reference medical image to the locations in the reference medical image.
