A method of automatically detecting tissue abnormalities in images of a region of interest of a subject includes obtaining first image data for the region of interest of the subject, normalizing the first image data based on statistical parameters derived from at least a portion of the first image data to provide first normalized image data, obtaining second image data for the region of interest of the subject, normalizing the second image data based on statistical parameters derived from at least a portion of the second image data to provide second normalized image data, processing the first and second normalized image data to provide resultant image data, and generating a probability map for the region of interest based on the resultant image data and a predefined statistical model. The probability map indicates the probability of at least a portion of an abnormality being present at locations within the region of interest.
