Abstract
A method for assessing a treatment in a trial includes obtaining images generated from image data acquired at different times during a trial time period for a same region of interest of a subject. The treatment is administered to the subject for the trial. The method further includes co-registering the images and mapping the co-registered images to a reference image representing the region of interest. The method further includes generating a trial image of the region of interest showing at least one of structural or functional physiological changes that occurred during the trial time period based on the mapped co-registered images, and displaying the trial image.
Claims30
A method for assessing a treatment under trial, comprising:
- obtaining images generated from image data acquired at different times during a trial time period for a same anatomical region of a subject, wherein the treatment is administered to the subject for the trial;
- co-registering the images;
- mapping the co-registered images to a reference image representing the anatomical region;
- generating a trial image of the anatomical region showing at least one of structural or functional physiological changes that occurred during the trial time period based on the mapped co-registered images;
- and
- displaying the trial image.
A system, comprising:
- computer memory storing instructions;
- and
- a computer processor that executes the instructions stored in the computer memory, which causes the computer processor to:
- obtain images generated from image data acquired at different times during a trial time period for a same anatomical region of a subject, wherein a treatment is administered to the subject for the trial;
- co-register the images;
- map the co-registered images to a reference image representing the anatomical region, and
- generate a trial image of the anatomical region showing at least one of structural or functional physiological changes that occurred during the trial time period based on the mapped co-registered images.
A computer memory encoded with computer readable instructions, which, when executed by a computer processor, cause the computer processor to:
- obtain images generated from image data acquired at different times during a trial time period for a same anatomical region of a subject, wherein a treatment is administered to the subject for the trial;
- co-register the images;
- map the co-registered images to a reference image representing the anatomical region wherein the reference image is not one of the obtained or co-registered images;
- and
- generate a trial image of the anatomical region showing at least one of structural or functional physiological changes that occurred during the trial time period based on the mapped co-registered images.
