Abstract
Systems and methods of performing parametric imaging are provided. According to an embodiment, data from multiple sources are combined using parametric equations to assign a probability value to each of a known set of diagnoses in a database. The system receives available data and applies the parametric equations based on the available data. As more data becomes available, the parametric equations can be reapplied to update the parameterized image. The parameterized image can be displayed overlaid on an anatomical image within a graphical interface.
Claims20
A system for performing parametric imaging, comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media having instructions stored thereon that when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
- receive data corresponding to a patient, the data providing at least two parameters;
- apply a set of parametric equations to the data to form a parameterized image, each parametric equation providing a parametric mapping of a probability of a particular disease;
- and
- display the parameterized image.
A method of performing parametric imaging, comprising:

- applying a set of parametric equations to the data to form a parameterized image, each parametric equation providing a parametric mapping of a probability of a particular disease;
- and
- displaying the parameterized image.
A system comprising:
- one or more computer-readable storage media;
- a parametric imaging application stored on the one or more computer-readable storage media that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform a method comprising:
- displaying a first view comprising a disease model selection element and a graphic region;
- and
- in response to receiving a selection of a disease model from a plurality of available disease models available through the disease model selection element, retrieving a patient's data corresponding to one or more parameters for a parametric equation of the disease model, calculating the parametric equation using the patient's data;
- and rendering a parameterized image in the graphic region.
