Method apparatus and system for analyzing images

A method of identifying an internal thermally distinguishable region in a living body comprising:

• operating a thermospatial imaging system for imaging the living body and generating and storing in a memory a first thermospatial image describing a section of the living body when the living body is at a first posture, and a second thermospatial image describing said section of the living body when the living body is at a second posture, wherein each thermospatial image is defined over a three-dimensional (3D) spatial image of said body and has thermal data associated with a surface of the 3D spatial image;
• retrieving said thermospatial images from said memory;
• using a data processor of a computing platform for calculating a deformation function which maps a first 3D shape of said section of the living body, corresponding to said first posture, to a second 3D shape of said section of the living body, corresponding to said second posture, to determine correspondence between sets of picture-elements belonging to said first and said second thermospatial images;
• determining, by said computing platform, transient thermal variation for each picture-element in at least one set and storing said transient thermal variation in the memory;
• and
• estimating, by said computing platform, a location or presence of the internal thermally distinguishable region in the living body based on said transient thermal variations and generating, by said computing platform, an output indicative of the internal thermally distinguishable region.
