There is provided a computer-implemented method for determining rotation of a patient's chest in a medical image. The method comprises: receiving the medical image of the patient; processing the medical image to determine scapular spatial data relating to the patient's scapula; and determining rotation of the patient's chest with respect to at least one reference axis using the scapular spatial data.

Determining rotation of a patient's chest in a medical image

The present invention relates to perfusion analysis. In order to provide a facilitated way of achieving and providing perfusion analysis, a device () for perfusion analysis is provided that comprises a data input (), a data processor () and an output interface (). The data input is configured to provide X-ray based 2D angiographic image data as first image data of a region of interest of a subject; wherein the first image data comprises information about a distribution of contrast agent in tissue areas of the region of interest being indicative for perfusion; and to provide 2D optical perfusion measurement image data as second image data of a surface layer of a flat part of the region of interest of the subject; wherein the second image data comprises information about blood related properties of blood present within the surface layer of the flat part of the region of interest. The data processor is configured to register the first image data and the second image data; and to transfer perfusion related image content from the second image data to the first image data, generating enhanced first image data. The output interface is configured to provide the enhanced first image data.
