Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining an assignment of an object acquire patient image data of interest recognizable in a digital medical patient image such as a tumour or other medical anomaly such as an implant to an anatomical region. The medical patient image is registered with atlas data, The assignment is then determined by calculating a score value defining an amount of volume intersection between the object of interest and a digital object defining a specific anatomic region, for example a bounding box around a specific organ, which is defined in the atlas data.

Atlas-based location determination of an anatomical region of interest

Disclosed is a computer-implemented method of determining a correspondence between a region of interest as it appears in a first digital medical patient image and as it appears in a second digital medical image. The correspondence is determined by calculating the ratio of overlap of the region of interest with a data object defining an anatomical body part in the first image and the second image and determining whether the larger of the two ratios exceeds a threshold. If the threshold is exceeded, the method assumes that the appearances in the two images describe the same region of interest.
