Abstract:
The invention relates to a system ( 1 ) for assisting in assessing a state of a subject's lung. The system is adapted to process a dark field image, which comprises dark field values for different spatial positions and for different breathing state values, such that a differentiation image is generated by differentiating the provided dark field image with respect to the breathing state values. This differentiation can lead to a functional image which can be used for detecting changes of air-soft tissue interfaces, which might be caused by a lung disease, with high sensitivity. This allows for an improved assisting in assessing a state of a subject's lung.

Claim (Index 1):
A system for assisting in assessing a state of a subject's lung,\n the system comprising: a dark field image providing unit for providing a dark field image of the lung, wherein the provided dark field image comprises dark field values for different spatial positions and for different breathing state values being indicative of a breathing state of the lung, an image processing unit for processing the provided dark field image, wherein the image processing unit is adapted to determine a differentiation image by differentiating the provided dark field image with respect to the breathing state values.
