Abstract
A first image data set of a patient is provided to a computer, and the computer performs a first analysis of the first image data set using a first analysis algorithm that is designed for an analysis purpose. After completion of the first analysis, a second analysis algorithm is added to a database to which the computer has access, so that the second analysis algorithm is now available for access by the computer. The second analysis algorithm is designed for the same purpose as the first analysis algorithm. After the second analysis algorithm has been added to the database, a second image dataset of the patient is provided to the computer. Even though the second analysis algorithm is now available to the computer for the same analysis purpose as the first analysis algorithm, the computer automatically defaults to use the first analysis algorithm to perform a second analysis of the second image data set. This helps to ensure that the first analysis and the second analysis are comparable to each other, because they have been performed by the same analysis algorithm.
