Systems and methods for determining hepatic function from liver scans

A system for automating a determination of a risk of liver disease for a patient from functional image data generated from a functional scanner, the system comprising one or more hardware processors configured to programmatically:

• access the functional image data generated by the functional scanner;
• determine a first shape of a first anatomical feature in the functional image data corresponding to a liver of the patient;
• determine a location of a first center point of the first anatomical feature;
• revise the first center point of the first anatomical feature based on the determined location of the first center point;
• identify a first region of interest corresponding to the liver of the patient based on the identified first shape and revised first center point;
• determine a risk of liver disease based on the identified first region of interest;
• and
• generate a user interface for display, the user interface comprising:
• the first shape corresponding to the liver;
• the first region of interest corresponding to the liver;
• and
• the determined risk of liver disease.
