Abstract
A method is described for the automatic analysis of image data of a structure. in at least one embodiment, the method includes: providing image data in the form of a three-dimensional voxel array, performing segmentation of the voxel array in order to determine a voxel subset, performing feature extraction at least for particular voxels of the voxel subset in order to generate a feature map, generating a scalar difference map on the basis of the feature map, performing classification with the aid of the difference map and identifying a structural anomaly in the image data on the basis of a classification result. A method for driving an image display device, an image processing system and an imaging system are furthermore described.
