The invention relates to a regions identifying apparatus (1) for identifying regions in an image like a computed tomography image showing a brain. A model providing unit (6) provides a three-dimensional model of a head of a living being, wherein the three-dimensional model includes Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (ASPECTS) regions of a brain, and a regions identifying unit (7) identifies ASPECTS regions in the three-dimensional image by applying the three-dimensional model to the three-dimensional image. This allows for an accurate, automatic identification of the ASPECTS regions independently of the orientation of the head in an imaging system, independently of an image slice thickness and also independently of a respective user like a physician. This leads to imaging an improved accuracy of determining the ASPECTS regions which allows for an improved quantification of ischemic changes in the brain after stroke. This in turn also allows for an improved treatment recommendation.
