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 4):
The system as defined in  claim 1 , wherein the dark field image providing unit is adapted to provide the dark field image such that the dark field values are provided for different breathing state values being dependent on an absolute lung volume.
