Claim One:
1. A data-processing method for analyzing a body-part, the method including the steps of: providing a parametric map including a plurality of parameter values each one characterizing a corresponding location of the body-part, and determining at least one statistical indicator of at least one distribution of a plurality of analysis parameter values corresponding to selected analysis locations, each statistical indicator being indicative of a condition of an analysis region of the body-part defined by the analysis locations, wherein the step of determining at least one statistical indicator includes, for each distribution of the analysis parameter values: determining a saturation value partitioning an ordered sequence of processing parameter values, corresponding to selected processing locations at least including the analysis locations, into a first subset and a second subset consisting of a number of the processing parameter values being determined according to a predefined auto-scaling percentage, generating an auto-scaled map including, for each processing location, an auto-scaled value being equal to: a) the corresponding processing parameter value if included in the second subset, or b) the saturation value if the corresponding processing parameter value is included in the first subset, and determining the at least one statistical indicator from the auto-scaled values corresponding to the analysis locations.
