Abstract
A method for processing images of lungs, the method comprising defining an inhale region of interest of the lungs at an inhale position and an exhale region of interest of the lungs at an exhale position, determining a spatial transformation of each voxel within the lungs between the lungs at the inhale position and the lungs at the exhale position to provide displacement vector estimates for each voxel within the lungs, and performing volume change inference operations to determine a volume change between the lungs at the inhale position and the lungs at the exhale position based on the inhale region of interest, the exhale region of interest, and the displacement vector estimates for each voxel within the lungs.
