A system for determining the prognosis of a patient suffering from pulmonary embolism is provided. The system may include at least one computer system configure to receive patient specific data regarding his pulmonary embolism status. The at least one computer system may be further configured to create a model of the patient's heart, with at least information of the two ventricles, and to determine the ratio of sizes of the ventricles. The system will then report such ratio to the clinician or report a risk index of clinical outcome for such patient.

A method for reconstructing an image includes receiving tomographic data representative of an image signal; deriving, from the image signal, a plurality of components; identifying a spatial location associated with maximum phase congruency of the components; incorporating, into an image, an edge at the spatial location; and providing an output representative of the image.
